I have my map which is about how the wolves impacted its ecosystem and how to ecosystem impacted the wolves, I also have a podcast about how the bees are very important, and my last example I’m talking about is my presentation about how droughts changes the ecosystem it attacks. My first example is my map and it shows that since the wolves came back to an ecosystem, they scared the deer away from some places which means they wouldn’t be eating the trees in those places, and since the trees weren’t being eaten as much they grew tall and that drew in more species that liked the trees, like birds, squirrels etc., so there was a lot more biodiversity once the wolves came in.…

    According to Wayne Ellwood “A quarter of all US beekeepers had suffered losses and more than 30 percent of all bee colonies in the country were completely wiped out” Even though bees play a major part in the world for pollinating there has been a major decline in the population. From increased uses of pesticides, insecticide and fungicides being used of crops and gardens the bees who pollinate are picking up those chemicals. Thus bringing it back to the colony and possibly poisoning the whole colony. Also Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) plays a big role in the decline in population. From Colony Collapse Disorder to different insecticides and pesticides being used by humans it is slowly terminating the bee’s population this problem can be solved…
