List the three issues that you believe make the largest impact on the ecosystem.
Select one issue from #3 and describe why this makes the largest impact on the ecosystem.
What is one solution to the issue listed in #4.
Lowest impact on the ecosystem:
1. Noise pollution
2. Light pollution
3. Beach litter
Noise pollution makes the lowest impact on the ecosystem because while it can disrupt wildlife and habitats temporarily, it does not lead to long-lasting damage or irreversible harm to ecosystems.
Largest impact on the ecosystem:
1. Deforestation
2. Pollution from industrial activities
3. Climate change
Deforestation makes the largest impact on the ecosystem because it destroys vast areas of habitats, leading to loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and imbalances in nutrient cycles.
One solution to deforestation is to promote sustainable logging practices, such as selective logging and replanting of trees to ensure that forests can regenerate and maintain their ecological functions. Additionally, supporting conservation efforts, implementing strict forest management policies, and creating protected areas can also help reduce the impact of deforestation on ecosystems.
