Positive Impacts of Humans on the Environment
Living things are often so well suited to their environments that even small changes can have a big impact! Humans can often have a positive impact on the environment.
Nature reserves
- Nature reserves are areas that humans manage to protect the animals and plants that live there.
Ecologically planned parks
- Ecologically planned parks provide safe places for animals that would otherwise have no place to go to in towns and cities.
Garden ponds
- A pond attracts many different types of living things, such as birds, newts and insects.
- The insects are valuable pollinators of flowers.
- The birds, frogs and newts are very good at controlling garden pests.
