How Humans Help & Harm This Environment
Help:
-Use water sources more efficiently.
-Find new ways to rotate the crops to protect the fertile soil.
-Use off road vehicles only on designated roads.
Harm:
Global Warming- With all the gases we produce from our mechanical devices it causes global warming.
Off Road Vehicles- Since some people don’t follow the designated roads they can ruin the desert’s turan.
Oil & Gas Production- Production of these fossil fuels may disrupt sensitive habitats.
Nuclear Waste- Scientists throw nuclear waste into the desert to dispose of it.the desert
