The mallard interacts with its environment in different ways and plays an important role in the aquatic ecosystem.
It plays an important role in biodiversity by contributing to the regulation of species populations and the dissemination of seeds across the territory.
It is therefore naturally important to protect wetlands and bodies of water, habitats of mallards, in order to preserve their ecological role and their contribution to biodiversity.
Seed dispersal
Mallards feed on seeds, aquatic plants that they spread into the environment by excreting them. This contributes to the spread of these plants and the diversity of plant species in the ecosystem.
Habitats for other species
The mallard also provides habitat for other species such as frogs and fish by creating shallow areas where these animals can breed and feed.
