Conclusion

Description:

The Global Committee for Environmental Conservation has chosen your team to research this remaining portion of the biome so that you can rebuild and restore it by reintroducing the native species. Unfortunately, budget constraints will only allow your team to reintroduce designated numbers of the following organisms: plants, protists, fungi, invertebrates and vertebrates.

Your team must work together to carefully decide which organisms in these categories are the most important to the biome to ensure the continuation of this biome. If you are careless in your choices, the biome will be unbalanced; the organisms will die out and be lost forever, like the dinosaurs.

Once your biome has been rebuilt, humans will most likely re-inhabit the biome. To prevent human activity from endangering your newly restored biome you must research and develop plans that will allow humans to inhabit this biome and use its resources for monetary gain while minimizing environmental degradation .

Once all the research has been completed, your restoration and preservation plan must be presented in a Power Point presentation to the committee.

Essential Question:

After a devastating meteorite impact, how do you plan to rebuild a balanced, productive biome that is ecologically and economically sustainable?
