Affect; A huge affect on areas of forest are burned or cleared to make space for crops and livestock. Alternative; Protecting local and native crops and livestock. 
    2) Awareness: Hydroelectric Dams; Affect; Hydroelectric dams can flood upstream forests, causing widespread forest loss, habitat degradation, and the displacement of forest communities. Alternative They need to find different place to put the Hydroelectric dams so itʻs not taking out native plants and animals.
    3) Awareness: Roads; Affect; Building roads through forests and the landscape endangers wildlife habitat, making it easier for illegal loggers to exploit the forest. Alternative; Make roads around the amazing Forests to keep the habilitas and animals alive.

    Alternative: We can cut down on CO2 emissions to help prevent these types of fires from happening. We can also make sure that we don’t leave fires unattended and make sure to listen to the fire warnings during dry seasons.

    Awareness Issue 2:  Dumping Waste : Places like North-Eastern Romania illegally dump hundreds of tonnes of waste in forests. Animals come along and get stuck in bits of plastic and other get killed by suffocation from plastic bags. Others getting caught in pieces of waste.
    Alternative: Recycle waste into new products to help cut down how much is wasted. Use alternative, sustainable resources such as reusable bags and aluminium/steel bottles. Turn waste into new materials that can be used for other products than its original use. Have a centre where waste is collected and safely stored to be recycled and reused that is open to the public.

    Awareness Issue 3: Air Pollution: Since the Industrial Era pollution has increased a lot. A lot caused by humans. Hundred of animals get poisoned from air pollution. Many more are killed. Animals get more diseases and numbers of species drop by a significant amount.
    Alternative: Cut down on CO2 and other toxins in the air by using environmentally friendly energy sources such as wind and solar energy. Convert from oil and gas to electric machinery and electric vehicles.]]>     2020-04-01 22:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487781046     Matthew Acland https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487787841 Issue 1. Deforestation
    Effect. Wildlife has no homes and has to leave the area
    Solution. We need to be more supportive of groups who are trying to protect NZ forest

    Issue 2. Pests and weeds
    Effect. Kill the wildlife and trees
    Solution. Need to protect are forest better with traps and no pest zones

    Issue 3. Land use Pressures 
    Effect. Some soil is weak and unstable with two many animals on it, it's a disaster waiting to happen.
    Solution. Take some animals off the land and grow trees to stabilize it again

A report which was put out by the ministry for the enviro and stats NZ found that NZ’s native plant and animal life has been decimated by invasive species. 
    2) The dairy industry. According to Green Peace the dairy industry deserves the title of the dirtiest industry in NZ by converting land to pasture.  
    3) Global Warming. Climate Change has the potential to significantly affect a wide range of habitats and species. Projection show that in NZ droughts are likely to increase in frequency and severity.

    Effect- Native wildlife are drawn out of there homes and habitats
    Solution- Fundraise and come together to fight deforestation.

    Issue 2. Pollution
    Effect- Kills millions of animals and forces them out of there homes.
    Solution- Watch and be aware of our carbon footprint and use less non biodegradable materials.

    Issue 3. Traps and poisons
    Effect - killing the wrong animals that could be native.
    Solution - use less killing products.]]>     2020-04-01 22:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487800591     Toby Van Rensburg https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487803493 Issue 1 Deforestation: deforestation destroys animals food sources homes and leaves them stranded with no food or place to live and it also releases carbon into the atmosphere which deteriorates the ozone layer.
    Use alternate methods that do not put the animals in bad situations and try replant Alamos the same amount of trees being destroyed.

    Issue 2 construction: construction cuts through places and drives animals out of where they live which can drive them into dangerous area where they will die. 
    Solution: try plan around epicentres of where animals live or create new habitats for the animals before construction.

    Issue 3 pesticides: pesticides like 1080 are poisonous and are dropped in forests with native animals and trees that get affected because it kills the habitats of animals or kills there food supplies which leads them to die.
    Solution don't use pesticides that are so harmful to the areas that they are dropped in.]]>     2020-04-01 22:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487803493     Sam Anderson https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487803741 1) Awareness: logging. This removes trees and removes parts of native bush. AFFECT; This means there is less room for the animals that live in the bush meaning a reduce of wildlife.
    2) Awareness: Settlement. People build houses and develop towns by clearing space by removing bush. AFFECT; This means that wildlife will reduce in numbers and less oxygen will be emitted by the bush.
    3) Awareness: Dams. Building dams slows the flow of water down river and changes how deep the river is. AFFECT; This means that further down the river, the land will not get enough water to survive and therefor destroy bush.]]>     2020-04-01 22:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487803741     Finn Wallace https://padlet.com/wallyrifle/nyedfwrhih9k/wish/487803816
    Awareness issue 1; Over killing
    The effect on over killing is that once the animal is dead its dead. If we (humans) over kill many species of our wildlife we might not know how much of that species is left. If we keep on over killing our animals then the animals become endangered.

    Issue 2: Pests; the pests we have in New Zealand such as possums, Rats and stoats can kill some of our native animals like Kiwis an Wekas these birds can't fly so we need to get rid of the pests. Thankfully New Zealand is trying that and are making Marine reserves for the fish and Nature reserves. This is keeping our native wildlife up. If we weren't doing this there might not of been any more kiwis anymore.

    Issue 3: Pollution; Some of the people in New Zealand dont care about the pollution they make per year. They leave carbon footprints every where and they even drop the Mc Donalds on the ground on the highway. this is disgusting these little prices of rubbish could take thousands of years to decompose. They are killing our animals and destroying our water ways. Plastics is a huge product in our water ways at the moment as they can look like food to animals and then those animals go and eat it then choke to death and die. New Zealand has some of the best wildlife habitat in the world and we want to keep that so dont drop your rubbish!

    When have to be more aware what when are
    Doing when we are outside and what we throw away and
    Where we trow it.
    Such us if we trow rubbish away it could lead
    To the ocean are would affect the animals in there breathing and if one of an animal eats eat they would most likely die.
    Issue two
    What we are Killing and why we are Killy it.
    When are going hunting and are shooting animals you should stop and think what to you are going to do with it if you are going to kill it for the sake of shooting something do not do it.If you are Killing it for food and actually going to sell or eat it that is fine just don't over kill.
    Issue 3
    Showing care to our animals.
    Such as showing care feed them and care for them and help them.
    If you be kind to them I'm sure they will be kind to.
    They are more sacred of them than you are of them. If u happen do play ruff or do something that could hurt or do something that is not right to them stop cause u never no if they will fight back.

     Effect; Deforestation is causing animals to lose their homes and need to find new ones.
    solution; Try to donate or support groups/organisations trying to stop deforestation and try to plant some trees where you can.

    Issue 2; Hunting more than you need/overkilling
    Effect; Species are dropping in population rapidly and some could go extinct. 
    Solution; Only kill what you know will go to use (eat or something else) and try your best to take breaks to let species breed.

    Issue 3; Pollution 
    Effect; Oceans and lands are getting destroyed and species are eating plastic and dying.
    Solution; pick up plastic, put your rubbish in the correct bins and donate to organisations trying to help.

    Each person produces four tonnes of carbon dioxide per year from cars, factories, cows etc
    Solution: Stop this by doing small things like walking or using public transport instead of driving

    Problem 2: Litter
    8 million pieces of plastic enter the water annually, and this is only 3% of annual waste production.

    Solution: Avoid buying plastic products and use recyclable or reusable things eg shopping bags.

    Problem 3: Invasive species
    Some plants or animals when introduced into a new environment thrive so much so that everything else there is affected by this in a negative way eg possums, rays ,stoats etc.

    Solution: Make traps to kill off  pests and being cautionary when introducing a plant or animal to a new environment unless it’s livestock.

    Cutting the Forrest down.
    This is killing many animals and that is affecting the food chain that could wipe out a whole species.
    An alternative to this is that when we cut down the trees of the plant we plant them back but do not go further in the Forrest.
    Awareness 2
    Litter in the ocean.
    This is leading to many deaths in the ocean food chain which will lead if we keep doing it to many animal deaths.
    An alternative to this is we put all the rubbish somewhere and we stop using plastics in the supermarkets.
