SOLUTIONS
– Increase alternative energy options to minimize global warming.
– Increase the number of protected areas and park reserves to restrict
human influence.
– Limit road construction, mining activities, and the building of pipelines.
– Limit tourism and respect local cultures.
– Adopt more sustainable forestry practices.
– Adopt safer and more sustainable methods to control the number of
parasites (e.g., crop rotation, cover crops, soil enrichment, the use of
natural pest predators, and biointensive integrated pest management).
GRASSLANDS
Grasslands are characterized as lands dominated by grasses rather than large
shrubs or trees. There are two main divisions of grasslands: (1) tropical
grasslands or savannas and (2) temperate grasslands.
