Temperate+Deciduous+Forest+Conservation

Welcome to Kevan B's and Eric D's Conservation Page  Human Impact Humans have a large impact on the environment even though we might not recognize it. A lot of times if we cut down a tree we don't replace it. So every time we cut down a tree we destroy the home of hundreds of animals. Also when we drive a car we realese pollutants into the air. When we spray pesticides on weeds in our lawn we are indirectly pollute the ground water an other organisms living underground.

 Problems In the deciduous forest the is a lot of over or underpopulation problems. One example is the Bald Eagle. It is an endangered animal and has come near to extinction numerous times. This is a result of hunting them. One overpopulated animal is the White-tailed Deer. Not many things hunt these herbivores so they rome freely without many fears. A overpopulation problem lie in the fields within the Temperate forest. It is the Autumn Olive Tree. It is a tree like bush that was brought over to the states from Europe years ago. It takes over the area in which a plant or plants live and soon after that plant or plants die.

Solutions One solution to the Bald Eagle problem is to stop hunting them. We can also stop destroying their habitats for building sites or protect them with hunting restrictions. The Deer is almost the opposite of the Eagle. We have to hunt them because there are very little predators that live here that will kill them. At the moment humans don't know how to solve the Autumn Olive problem but are desperately trying to find a way to save our fields.
