Tree clearing in Australia
Environmentalist
Congratulations on your Appointment!
Thanks for joining us. As an Environmentalist, you have a strong interest in ensuring that actions we take as humans have as little environmental impact as possible. Now you, perhaps more than most, will understand the delicate nature of the environment in Australia. You need to form a mental picture on how key environmental issues relate to this quest.
This page will guide you closely through three main issues and prompt you to find examples (facts, statistics, quotations, or any other inputs) that you believe provide support for your views on the issues posed by this quest.
After you've collected an example for each of the issues, you will need to combine these into a single statement that represents a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to how tree clearing in Australia has affected the environment. You will repeat this process four times.
Here is a site called Miara that the owner wants to develop, and here is some information about Miara compiled by the Wildlife Preservation Society Queensland.
1)Obtain a list of endangered species that are found in the area from the Environmental Protection Agency.
2) What would happen to these species if the development went ahead? Wildlife Preservation Society Queensland
3) Using information you have gained on food webs, what would happen to the food webs of these species? You may like to revisit the food web section.
4) If these species disappear what could be possible outcomes? Would their disappearance affect any other organisms?
Here is a photo taken near the boat ramp.
You will have the opportunity to speak with an environmentalist around this issue. Your time will be limited so you will need to think of the questions you would like to ask prior to the meeting. By working through the above questions you will have a good idea of the questions you would like to ask.
Now you need to organise the information you have gathered and decide what you, the Environmentalist, thinks would be the best option for the development, or not, of the land at Miara. Try using a flow chart to do this or plus and minus columns to weigh issues up.
Remember that you may use the Environmentalist wiki to discuss issues with other Greenies.
Present your opinion in a professional manner either by movie, powerpoint, still frame animation, which ever way you think will best showcase your point of view and persuade others.

Here is a link to a wiki that is for Environmentalists only. A place where you can share your thoughts with your fellow environmentalists on tree clearning issues and effects.
Here is a link to a voice thread for you to comment on regarding your thoughts around the issue and to listen to your fellow environmentalists thoughts.
