In an ecosystem snakes eat salamanders, and salamanders eat earthworms. How would the ecosystem be affected if a large number of snakes are caught and moved out of the region as a part of a conservation program?

Th ecosystem will be affected because the salamander population will grow too large since the snakes are gone and will not be able to keep a good balance.
