When Scar took over he over-predated the herbivore community, which lead to plant overgrowth that choked the river upstream and destroyed downstream ecosystems. Mufasa and Simba knew that herbivores help maintain the landscape, so you can’t eat too many of them.
We’re seeing this in Russia where loss of grazing animals has damaged the permafrost and destroyed the steppe ecosystems. Reintroduction of grazers is helping to heal the landscape and resist global warming. The increased snow in summer reflects the sun’s light and counteracts the greenhouse effect.
