Big Picture




In Australia 40% of the countries forests have been cleared causing habitats to be lost. Humans have a direct and indirect effect on these animals. For example humans have an indirect effect on the central rock rat. Settler's pets such as cats are eating them and horses that overgraze are taking all their food.This category of endangered species falls under human-environment interactions because humans are dangering these animals to the point of extinct.Humans are messing up the natural environment. Endangerted species is exactly what the theme human-environment interactions is stating. people can see from my topic what we are doing to these animals and nthen compare it to what ever you want.

  2. This reminds me of the extinction of many species in South America due to deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest. Many countries, for example like Brazil, are constantly cutting down their natural rainforests and during the process they are putting many species on the brim of extinction or even causing them to become extinct. If the governments of countries like Australia, Indonesia, and Brazil don't step in to fix this problem more and more species will go extinct and this will cause some harsh consequences to the environment.

  3. This reminds me of the Javan Rhinoceros in Vietnam and Indonisia. They are becoming extinct because poachers want their valuable horns and sell them at high prices. Also developers are destroying their forest home. This species is quickly disappearing.
