We can use conservation tillage farming which helps plant trees and grass without plowing the soil. Also, we can use rapid regrow growth practices to help balance the need for timber with the need to conserve soil, water, and wildlife

Humans and all other animals need resources to survive. As our technology has advanced, we have craved more and more resources. Scientists today have put resources in two different categories. Renewable, and Non-renewable resources. Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again. Some examples of renewable resources are are: Trees, water. sunlight, and wind. Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replaced. They can replenish over time, but not quick enough for human purposes. Some examples of Non-renewable resources are: Oil, coal, and Natural Gas. Humans have used these resources but have also severely impacted them.

Environmental awareness- conservation which is a method to control the amount of resources used.

Sustainable practice- ways of living and doing business that use natural resources, but don’t use them up

Forestry practices- only cutting selective trees

Alternative energy sources (cars) no fossil fuels

1. Water Quality- is how clean the water is. The biggest problem that humans cause that affects water quality is pollution.

Human beings bring invasive species for their own purposes. However, these crowd out the native species.

The removal of habitat includes anything that limits the natural resources available to animals. The limiting of natural resources can impact shelter of animals causing them to move. Animals moving can mean the depletion of food for a different species or for another species to grow out of control if the animals that moved are prey/a limiting factor. Either way removing habitat can throw an ecosystem out of control.
