Snails are important because without them the enemies of a snail wouldn't
have anything to eat, then the predators who eat snails wouldn't have enough
food to eat then there will be less and less of them, and then the predators
who eat the enemies of a Snail would not have enough food and so on so its a chain reaction, you change one thing the whole thing is effected.
