In the scientific evidence, it shows the temperature, humidity, and precipitation. The black line represents the humidity. As it is shown, the humidity almost always remains high, which results in the decrease in mangrove, which will threaten the habitats of animals. The precipitation also takes a role. The precipitation is the green line. There is a decrease in precipitation from April to September. This leads to drier temperatures.
But, there is also a large increase from late October to December. This large increase results in changing rainfall patterns, causing floods and erosion. Erosion is the damaging of delicate coastal areas, which leads to the contamination in bodies of water with sediment that harms animal and plant life. This shows a cause and effect, because the cause of the climate changes (such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation) affects the life of animals and plants.

This explains the effect on the habitats of animals.

Deforestation in Madagascar is an environmental issue that has been ongoing for a long period of time. Deforestation can result in desertification, water resource degradation, biodiversity erosion, habitat loss, and soil loss.

A solution that would solve this problem would be to end cutting trees. By doing this, we help the animals keep their habitats. We can use other resources besides trees for charcoal production. Another solution is to end over hunting/over fishing and to end the international pet trade, or at least decrease the amount of visits to Madagascar. This would allow a greater biodiversity for the animals.

My human impact topic is that climate creates causes and effects that take place in Madagascar. There are a list of reasons of how Madagascar is effected. That includes deforestation and habitat destruction, agricultural fires, soil erosion, hunting and over collecting of species, and many more.

This destruction is being caused in Madagascar. It is located in Africa, south of the equator.

Human activities that lead to the climate changes in Madagascar is the act of deforestation. Humans use the bark of trees for charcoal production. Because humans are cutting down trees, this results in the loss of habitats for animals. Another human activity is overhunting and overfishing. Madagascar's native species are being aggressively hunted and are collected by people. Also, reptiles and amphibians are constantly being collected for international pet trade.

A human impact that takes place is deforestation. In Madagascar, logging for timber is very common. This leads to the destruction of the biosphere, then leading to no habitat for animals.

#6 - Effects on Biodiversity and the Ecosystem

Human impact:
Deforestation is a problem caused by humans. This problem affects the ecosystem because deforestation is taking the habitats and food resources of animals. Without these, they will not be able to live. This will then reduce the complexity of the ecosystem and biodiversity. Agriculture takes big role in the effects in biodiversity and ecosystem. This has an effect on the biodiversity and ecosystem because humans are hunting plants and animals, which decreases the complexity of food webs.
Climate impact:
The impacts of climate change in Madagascar threaten the biodiversity of creatures. For example, changing rainfall patterns will impact the rain forests of Madagascar and have already been shown to impact the survival rates of certain species of animals. Also, increased storms threaten coastal communities with flooding and erosion. Another example is that the increase in temperature can drastically reduce the mangrove (shrubs/small trees) and have a severe threat to the habitats of many unique animals.
