4. Humans help prevent bison from being hunted to extinction by implementing protective laws and regulations, establishing protected areas and national parks for their conservation, and promoting sustainable hunting practices.
5. The impact of diverting rivers flowing into the Aral Sea and using the water to irrigate farmland was the drastic reduction in the size of the Aral Sea, leading to environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and negative consequences for local communities dependent on the sea for livelihood.
6. One problem with humans using oil as an energy source, as discussed in the video, is that burning fossil fuels like oil releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change and global warming.
7. Some alternatives to using oil and fossil fuels as an energy source include renewable energy options such as solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy, and bioenergy. These sources have a lower environmental impact and are considered more sustainable in the long run.
8. Items that can be recycled include paper, cardboard, glass bottles, aluminum cans, plastic containers, electronic waste (e-waste), batteries, and certain types of plastics.
9. Scientists and engineers are helping to protect our planet through various means such as developing cleaner and more efficient energy technologies, conducting research on climate change and its impacts, designing and implementing sustainable land and water management strategies, promoting conservation and restoration of ecosystems, and working towards reducing pollution and waste.
10. An example of something you can do to help preserve our resource of fresh water is practicing water conservation at home by taking shorter showers, fixing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and being mindful of water usage in daily activities.
11. One type of scientist that helps save our planet is an environmental scientist. They study the environment, analyze data, and assess the impact of human activities on ecosystems. They also develop strategies for sustainable resource management, conservation efforts, and environmental policy implementation.
