BIODIVERSITY

  • Our World interacts as one if one species or environment is affected it usually causes a domino affect, affecting many other organisms and/or environments. The loss of biodiversity can cause ecosystem disruptions. The loss of biodiversity can also cause fewer choices either as food or enjoyment. Biodiversity also plays a major role in medical benefits.

ENJOYING BIODIVERSITY

  • The loss of biodiversity can cause fewer choices for humans for food and/or enjoyment
  • Scientist estimate there are about 8.7 million different types or organisms in the World. Of these 8.7 million up too 60 to 70% are consumable to humans. Organisms are also used for enjoyment. There are 7,000 national parks Worldwide and 84 million acres in the US alone. Showing people love to observe animals and different organisms in their environment. deck.

MEDICAL BENEFITS OF BIODIVERSITY

  • Plants and animals produce defense mechanisms.  These are often chemicals used to either repel predators or to aid in elimination of their competition.  These chemicals are vitally important to humans because many cures for human diseases have been found in these compounds.  If a species is lost due to our interference in its ecosystem, we also lose the ability to study it for possible benefits to mankind

SUSPENSIONS BRIDGES AFFECT ON BIOTIC FACTORS

  • Biotic factors are the living parts of an ecosystem
  • Suspension bridges can can affect biotic factors by destroying there habitat
  • They can also help the environment by reducing pollution

SUSPENSIONS BRIDGES AFFECT ON ABIOTIC FACTORS

  • Abiotic factors are the part of an ecosystem that are not living
  • Pollution from the bridge can affect land,air,water.

URBANIZATION

  • Compared to other countries Australia takes a high degree in urbanization and agriculture which express the need for a suspension bridge. Urbanization in Australia is more common than rural areas. In the 1840s Australia economy has been great due to agriculture meaning livestock such as the sheep which led to the economy being great.

AGRICULTURE

  • The challenges of access to fresh water, the legacy of high amounts of fertilizers, massive clearing, over grazing, a tyranny of distance, transport costs and feral animals, have tested Australian farmers to their limits. Which express the need for a suspension bridge. Agriculture and urbanization is defining Australia with the need for a suspension bridges for people and livestock. We are building a bridge that will help a national park transfer animals and people to another's national park.
