Task:

A. Create a multimedia presentation (e.g. PowerPoint, Keynote) (suggested length of 6–8 slides) that introduces and describes your chosen ecosystem, analyzes the impact of human activity on the ecosystem, and provides guidelines to help preserve your chosen ecosystem. Do the following in your presentation:
1. Describe the specific ecosystem that you have selected by doing the following:
a. Identify the specific geographic location of the ecosystem.

Note: You can use maps, written description of location, and latitude/longitude to provide the location of the ecosystem.

b. Explain the major biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem.
2. Discuss the impact that humans currently have on the specified ecosystem.
3. Predict the effect of future human impact on the specified ecosystem.
4. Provide guidelines regarding human activities that will aid in preserving the specified ecosystem.

B. If you choose to use outside sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

for Reference:
Map of Chernobyl retrived from http://www.greenfacts.org/en/chernobyl/figtableboxes/map-chernobyl.htm The novel emphasizes that the "dead zone" around Chernobyl is actually rich in plant- and wildlife (which have tolerance levels for radiation different than humans).
In this area, wild animals such as wolves have not only flourished in the absence of human activity, but have no fear of the humans they do encounter.

Flora and fauna
There has been an ongoing scientific debate about the extent to which flora and fauna of the zone were affected by the radioactive contamination that followed the accident. Cases of mutant deformity in animals of the zone include partial albinism and other external malformations in swallows[2][3][4] and insect mutations.[5] A study of several hundred birds belonging to 48 different species also demonstrated that birds inhabiting highly radioactively contaminated areas had smaller brains compared to birds from clean areas.[6]
There have been individual eyewitness reports of other animal mutations. The cloud of heavily polluted dust left the Red Forest (Рудий ліс)—a stand of highly-irradiated pine wood near the plant which was subsequently bulldozed. A reduction in the density and the abundance of animals in highly radioactively contaminated areas has been demonstrated for several taxa, including birds,[7][8] insects and spiders, [9] and mammals. [10] In birds, which are an efficient bioindicator, species diversity decreases 50 percent in radioactively contaminated areas compared to clean areas, while abundance decreases by two thirds. There have been reports that wildlife has flourished due to significant reduction of human impact.[11] For this reason, the zone is considered by some as a classic example of an involuntary park. Some claim that the populations of traditional Polesian animals (like wolves, Badger, wild boar, Roe Deer, White-tailed Eagle, Black Stork), Western Marsh-harrier, Short-eared Owl, red deer, moose, Great Egret, Whooper Swan, least weasel, Common Kestrel and beaver) have multiplied enormously and begun expanding outside the zone. These claims, however, are not substantiated by any systematic census of any animal taxon. [12] The area also houses herds of European wisent (native to the area) and Przewalski's Horses (foreign to the area, as tarpan was the native wild horse) released there after the accident. Some accounts refer to the reappearance of extremely rare native lynx, and there are videos of brown bears and their cubs, an animal not seen in the area for more than a century. Special game warden units are organized to protect and control them. No scientific study has been conducted on the population dynamics of these species.
The rivers and lakes of the zone pose a significant threat of spreading polluted silt during spring floods. They are systematically secured by dykes.
