Question 104
Deforestation can cause habitat fragmentation, where the natural environment is divided into smaller, unconnected areas. Animals are separated from other members of their species, resulting in smaller, isolated populations.
Imagine you are part of an organisation that manages a protected area for a population of lizards affected by habitat fragmentation. You want to develop strategies that can help maintain or increase the lizard population.
Work in groups to come up with the strategies. You may use the Internet or other sources to help you with your research.
Outline the steps needed to implement your strategies.
- What are some of the resources that you would need?
- Who are the people or groups of people that could help you implement your strategies?
- How would you evaluate the success of your strategies?
Share your plan with another group. Suggest improvements to your plan based on their feedback.
