Last century saw a massive expansion in agriculture and industry‚ together with large increase in global population. Early economic development focused primarily on modern agricultural production. This resulted in deforestation and destruction of biodiversity‚ as well as environmental pollution. The next phase‚ of industrialisation‚ used energy intensively‚ rapidly extracted natural resources‚ and emitted larger quantities of more toxic pollutants. Throughout both phases‚ populations continue to grow

main reasons for this was Sir David Attenborough. My curiosity and love for the subject grew as I read his books and watched documentaries‚ such as Planet Earth. I am particularly interested in the animal behaviour aspect of the course‚ along with biodiversity and taxonomy‚ which I have covered in A-level biology. A personal interest in conservation resulted in my joining WWF. I am also a member of one of the top zoos in the UK‚ Chester Zoo where I am a regular visitor. This is not only a leisure activity

support the value of the Everglades "A healthy ecosystem is one in which its plants and animals work in harmony. There are no drastic spikes in the populations of any one species‚ or drops in another.
