SLIDES 8) and 9) DESIGN SOLUTIONS: *Select 2 issues (from the list below) for the ecosystem in which your chosen animal lives. *Add facts about the issues and include a possible solution to the problems. ● Wastewater treatment ● Water pollution ● Greenhouse effect ● Natural selection ● Coral whitening ● Erosion and deforestation ● Earth Radiation Budget ● Capture-mark-recapture
Issue 1: Water pollution
- Water pollution in the ecosystem of the chosen animal can result from various sources such as industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and littering.
- This can lead to a decrease in water quality, affecting the health of the animal species and their food sources.
- Possible solution: Implementing stricter regulations on industrial and agricultural waste disposal, promoting recycling and proper waste management practices, and educating the community on the importance of keeping water sources clean.
Issue 2: Erosion and deforestation
- Erosion and deforestation can lead to habitat loss and fragmentation in the ecosystem of the chosen animal.
- This can result in a decrease in available resources, shelter, and breeding grounds for the animal species, ultimately impacting their population.
- Possible solution: Implementing sustainable land management practices, reforestation projects, creating protected areas and wildlife corridors to preserve habitat connectivity, and raising awareness about the importance of preserving natural ecosystems.
