Introduced Species- cane toads (with sarah) :D = = = =

 * At Taronga Zoo, we went to a seal show to learn about seals and their adaptations. Seals can survive in the water because they can hold their breath for an AMAZING 2 hours. To help them glide through the water, their noses are shaped like a cone which helps them __#|swim__ as nothing is holding them back. They have a streamline body, which also helps them glide through the water.**


 * Their whiskers are very sensitive which helps them find food in the ocean and they can tell if they might be in danger. Also, an unnatural talent they can be taught is balancing things such as balls because their whiskers are able to wrap around the ball to balance it.**



Science Speech:

Think globally and act locally. Natural environment is of crucial importance for social and economic life. Humans impacting the environment, what does it mean? It means when human are causing effect on the environment by their actions. Environments include air, water, minerals and organisms. Let me give you an example of human impacting the environment, throwing rubbish on the ground is one of the major impact on the environment, some animals eat plastic by accident, the plastic gets stuck to the animals air way it can cause the animal to die. In my speech, I will tell you about how pollution, buildings, transport and heritage are impacting the environment nowadays.

Pollution is one of the human impacts that has affected the environment over the past decades however, it is not a pleasant one. Factors that cause pollution are: Cars and factories excreting black toxicated smoke, as well as sumping litter on the world's oceans and lands. If the humans' behaviour towards pollution is careless, then many unwanted issues will be formed such as Global Warming. When the warmth of the Earth increases and sea water level rises. This means that we will not be able to resist the heat and our lands underwater. In addition, litter is another factor of pollution because the chemicals and toxins will diffuse around the area and if animals forage for food, the food will be contaminated because of the spread of chemicals and toxins from the litter and this will then, affect the animals and lead to serious circumstances. Therefore, pollution has a big effect in our lives and how we will prevent it will depend on how we, humans act.

World heritage sites are being ruined because of humans. Our heritage sites are very important to us and to our flora and fauna because sites such as the Great Barrier Reef are home to them. Some reasons they are important to us are that they can sometimes help us understand how the earth was formed, they can tell us about the world’s history, who used to live there and what kind of lifestyle they had and they are also usually very beautiful as well. Even though the money received from visitors and tourists is gone into repairing damage or improve the site tourist activities such as camping, hiking, quad biking etc. can still cause plants to be damaged and animal’s homes to be invaded. These problems cannot be easily fixed.

Humans impact massively on the natural environment. Especially when we start building houses, offices and businesses. These buildings effect the environment a lot. For example having to build these things means that we have to cut down trees. Cutting down trees doesn’t help as, trees take in oxygen for us to breathe, but without trees we can’t breathe properly.

This is one way humans’ impact on the environment another way is when humans start putting things in the buildings that affect the environment mot inn one way but many different ways. This is how buildings built by humans’ effect the environment.

How does the transport affect the ecosystem? Well for starters, now days, all the pollution from cars, buses and trains produce pollution. Gases that are released from the cars and other transportation means form smog which is pollution and can cause harm to ecosystems. But we are going to have to take a look into the future to see what time has done to preserve these amazing ecosystems.

We arrive in the Cook Islands where a well-developed city has begun, situated among coral reefs, this city has a lot that can be ruined by the transportation means of today. But what is different is that the cars are very different from the ones used nowadays. This is because they are all run from solar electricity which is an unlimited source of power from the sun. Not only do they not use fossil fuels often found near reef ecosystems, they are hover crafts. They don’t touch the ground. This means people and tourists can visit the coral reefs and 1, not get wet and also 2 boats are not used to get around see the reefs, hovercrafts that don’t even need to touch the water are used.

OK so a recap on our city’s transport:

Transportation is run on solar electricity not petrol that is taken from the seabed around coral reef ecosystems.

Hovercrafts are used so there is no damage to the natural environments around them.

And there is no exhaust from any transport.

Humans impact the environment in many ways. Sometimes these effects can be good for the environment and sometimes they can be bad. We all need to think globally and act locally and make our future a better place.
