1.Choose a current event that is happening in your local community or anywhere around the world that is having a detrimental effect on biodiversity and is hazardous to the ecosystem in that given area.
2.Create a system diagram representing the current event and the hazardous elements as to why the biodiversity in the ecosystem in struggling.
3.Explain why this current event deeply matters to you and how you can personally make a difference in the situation in 150-200 words.
1.The current event I chose was the loss of biodiversity that is currently happening in our oceans and how this is a major impact on marine life.

3.This current event matters to me personally because being someone who doesn’t live close to an ocean makes it that much more enjoyable when I get to go on vacation to somewhere that does! I also have a love for animals and the ocean so I thought this topic and current event would relate to me on that level as well. I think that we as humans have so much power to control the loss of biodiversity that is currently happening and the reasons as to why they are. Everything is a waterfall effect and as we take the time to fix one issue, eventually it will help the other issues as well such as global warming affects water warming, which then affects the chemical levels of the ocean and it also affects the deoxygenation as well. We can personally make a difference in this situation by trying our best to live in correlation with the animals and the ocean and think about what we do on a daily basis and the outcomes of what we do and how they will eventually effect our world and ocean.

  1. Hi, I’m Tyler. I thought you really included a lot of information in your diagram. Mine showed what biodiversity gives us. It was great how you related your diagram to what you like to do, going to the beach. It put your ideas on a personal level that we all can related to; therefore, making protecting biodiversity more important.

  2. Hello Zoe, my name is Nick. I really liked you tied in current events into your blog post. It allows for the material to be more relatable and has a better connection. I also like your system diagram, as it was easy to follow and understand. I took a different approach and discussed the threats different areas of biodiversity can be impacted by.
