It is also one of the least protected biomes. Global warming, agriculture, intense grazing, and urbanization are just some of the negative factors. This has led to habitat loss and declining biodiversity.]]> 2018-06-30 18:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dguevara7/ee9x5fdjfesl/wish/269040018 dguevara7 https://padlet.com/dguevara7/ee9x5fdjfesl/wish/269671321 There are many positive effects of the Neolithic Revolution.

I choose this picture because the air will be thick with air pollution. We will need to learn how to adapt to these new conditions.]]> 2018-07-29 01:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dguevara7/ee9x5fdjfesl/wish/271350603
