PPT-HUMAN IMPACTS ON ECOSYSTEMS AND ORGANISMS POPULATIONS

GOALS We will investigate a few specific examples of how humans have directly impacted organisms Students will be able to explain these direct human influences on organisms We will investigate some potential unintended outcomes or indirect results.
