Human Interference in the Desert Biome
Negative: Long time for plants to grow once destroyed some won’t fully grow back in more than one century!
Negative: Many people hunt the animals and collect the plants.
Negative: Ranching can hurt the landscaping as well
Negative: Animals such as the Chuckwalla get taken out of there habitat and get sold as pets.
Human Interference in the Desert Biome
Positive: Conserving Water Positive: Animal and Plant preserves
such as the Tree Opinion: I my self think it is great to have preserves and all although we can help even more by keeping the animals in their natural habitat and to encourage to set up more animal and plant preserves
Thoughts/Summary . To encourage others to conserve water . To set up more animal preserves . Stop the , pollution off roading , and the
waste of water and just help the planet!!!
