Week 3

We have been learning about Habitats and Human Impact. We looked at a variety of images and discussed our thoughts on the habitat shown. We have had a focus on images of Deforestation and Global Warming.

The image above prompted Evynesence to do some further research on Deforestation.

Here are some facts she learned:

Deforestation notes

*Deforestation is a process from logging and burning

*12-15 million trees are lost each year - 36 football fields per minute.

*When forest cover is removed wildlife is deprived of habitat.

*Deforestation earth's biodiversity at risk.

*Deforestation causes 15% global greenhouse gas releases

How to stop deforestation

*Recycle lots and lots of paper to help 17 trees

*Buy products that are made from recycled materials (paper, tissues, plastic cups etc…)

*Reuse envelopes and paper bags

*Plant trees
