Questions and Answers
What is the issue? The issue is that a lot of people don’t know but they are getting a lot of their resources from the temperate forests. In the future the only large areas of temperate forest will be in national parks and sanctuaries.
Why should we be concerned? We should be concerned because we are taking down some animal’s habitats and we are killing species of animals. Soon the temperate forests could be gone.
What is the impact? The impact is that the animals are dying and running out of places to live.
Where is this occurring? This is occurring in all of the temperate forests and probably ALL forests.
What human activity is the cause? We are cutting down trees, littering, and taking away some of the animals food. We are also building on their habitats. And to build a house sometimes you have to knock stuff down. So we are knocking down some of their habitats.
What populations are affected? A lot of the animal populations are being affected by this, because some animals are dying; so they are going down in population.
What is a possible solution/recommendation for the future? A solution if for the humans to stop building houses in forests, to stop cutting down trees, and stop littering.
