Corkscrew Field trip.
Diferent ecosystems I saw on this trip included, swamp, prairie, and wooded land. The different areas provide different resources to all the species that surround that area. The trees provide shade, and the swamp provides water. The living machine was very interesting. Id never even heard of one, or knew they existed. I think it is amazing that some corporations even use them at their corporate structures as a way to conserve energy. Conservation is the saving and preserving of natural resources and wildlife, while stweardship is how we manage our resources. Many non-profits provide ways to help ensure the preservation and conservation of the worlds eco-systems and wildlife. Many of which, also provide knowledge and education to people on how they can help as well. People who are knowledgable of these organizations and what they are doing, can help out in their own community and make a difference on their own. Civic engagement is very important in the preservation of our environment. The audobon society chose this acreage to save plume birds, and made a huge impact in their survival, without this property and the society, they may have been hunted to extinction. Government plays their part in providing assistance to non-profits when needed. Bulldozing and building condos would help with the housing market since so many people are always moving to florida, however, we need preservation areas in order to keep on surviving. If we were to bulldoze the area, many animals would lose their homes, and many important agricultural species would be ruined and change the surrounding ecosystems.
