Discussion of results
The groups who attempted to have a sustainable, environmentally
aware forestry business, did you achieve your goals? What were your
profits like?
5 min
From this, we can see the large impacts that habitat loss (through timber
harvesting) can have on an ecosystem. Often business goals and
environmental goals are in conflict with one another so a balance between the
two is needed. The decisions that we make as humans can have a huge
impact on the environment and can destroy ecosystems.
Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students)
