Question 82
In this project you are going to research an animal in your country which is at risk because people are destroying its environment.
Many animals are at risk because human behaviour and actions are having a negative effect on their environment. For example, plastic pollution is killing seabirds, dolphins and fish. Rapid growth of cities is taking away the environment where animals live. Deforestation is destroying the environment where animals live.
- Choose an animal that is at risk in your country.
- Describe the natural environment of the animal.
- Is the animal a predator? If so, what is its prey?
- Is the animal a prey? If so, what is its predator?
- What negative effect are people causing to make this animal at risk?
- Describe how the animal is at risk.
- Suggest how people can change their behaviour to make the animal safe again.
Work in pairs or small groups. Collect the information. Prepare a three-minute presentation to share your findings with the class.
