How are biomes being protected and preserved?

In this lesson, we are going to be learning about conservation, both in relation to plants (flora) and animals (fauna). We will look specifically at conservation of forests and conservation of corn buntings, a bird that lives in the United Kingdom. We will end the lesson by considering what you can do to support conservation in your local area.

Q3.Link the biome to the way you think it is being damaged by human activity.

Rainforest

The burning of fossil fuels causes the earth’s temperature to rise and therefore melts the ice. Logging and deforestation cause huge amounts of damage to this vulnerable biome. Humans live in this biome and cut down lots of trees in order to build homes. The clearing of vegetation, as well as using the land to farm cattle damages the soil and turns it into a desert. Driving off-road cars kills off vegetation, which in turn affects the animals.

Savanna

Tundra

Desert

Taiga
