The world around us
Damaging and protecting landscapes
People get many things they need from landscapes. For example, we get wood from trees and we get
oil from under the ground. Some of these actions
damage
landscapes.
Have you ever visited
a national park?
What did you see?
We
cut down
trees and
damage forests. We do
this to grow food and to
make homes. When we
damage forests, many
animals lose their habitat
and die.
We
extract
coal and oil
from under the ground.
We do this, for example,
to make electricity.
When we use all the coal
and oil, there won’t be
any more left.
We have cars and factories.
They
pollute
the air and
water. When we pollute
the air, it’s bad for our
health. When we pollute
a river, many fish and
plants die.
