Your assignment is due in 2 weeks and will consist of four parts:

1. Name and Location
2. Natural features/habitat characteristics
3. Wildlife
4. Biodiversity of the area
B) List some of the negative effects that humans may have on that conservation area and what effects they would have on the habitat and wildlife in the area.
C) Write a short paragraph about how we can prevent these negative effects and how to conserve future areas in the future.
D) Draw a picture or create a piece of art based on your conservation area. Your piece must include the natural features and some of the wildlife found in that area. You will be displaying your piece in the class for our conservation day!
