Compared with pangolin, termites have multiple impacts on the ecological environment, so we must look at this problem comprehensively, that is, we must understand its enthusiasm for the ecosystem and face its disadvantages. At the same time, we also actively call on everyone to protect pangolins, so that the number of pangolins can be restored to a level that can restrict termites. At that time, the two "forest guards" will perform their duties, restrict each other, coordinate with each other, and maintain the ecological balance of the forest spontaneously.
