Major Changes Needed to Protect Australia's Species and Ecosystems


Major Changes Needed to Protect Australia's Species and Ecosystems



Picture:

This picture and quote show that we should take better care of our ecosystems.  Many people take advantage of the environment, and the ecosystems are paying for that. 

Summary:

Recently a study was done in Australia showing how the ecosystem is being affected by the environment.  Climate change in Australia is having a major impact on the plant and animals species.  It is predicted that by 2030 many natural landscapes will be transformed due to climate change.   Most of the plants and animals are predicted to be extinct by 2070, and the climate change causing widespread problems.  By the time Australia strategizes ways to help the climate, I will be too late and the damage will not be able to be fixed.

Opinion:

I was surprised by the numbers in this article.  To see the actual years written down is shocking.  I believe people not only in Australia, but worldwide should be more aware about the environment.   Once the resources on the Earth are gone, they cannot be replenished or replaced.

 

 

Questions:

1-      Why do you think people should be worried about the environment, and trying to preserve it?

2-      How would it affect the ecosystems worldwide if the plants and animals in Australia went extinct?

3-      If you could, how would you make a change to help the environment?

  1. Answers to Questions:
    1. Because the environment is where we live and we need it in order to survive

    2. Many plants and animals in other regions of the world would also go extinct or decrease over time.

    3. I would plant more trees and grow a beautiful garden some where in the community and also pick up all the littler and stop using so much fossil fuels

  3. I think its sad that these animals are going to be extinct. Also that it says that they will be extinct by the time they actually figure out what to do about the climate. I think everbody in the world should learn more about the enviroment so something like this wont happen to them or us and we can be prepared. I think that this is a good article telling us to be more aware about or enviroment.

    Do you think we should learn more about our enviroment incase something like this happens to us?
