The !Kung bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa are one of the few bands of hunter-gatherers left in the world.

This chapter spoke about food deserts‚ which is an urban area where it is difficult to buy good quality foods.

Route 2‚ which wound through the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert. Then I saw that a car had broken down up ahead. It was the first car I’d seen in about half an hour. In the distance‚ a few hundred feet ahead of the car‚ I saw a stooped figure walking with a gas can in his hands. There was nothing around for miles. There was no way this person was going to make it to the nearest town‚ which was a good twenty miles away‚ in this desert heat. I’d always been told to stay away from strangers‚

Anthony Digirolamo The ecosystem that I chose that I believe is in need of conservation is the Mojave Desert. This ecosystem is different in the fact that the desert is a much harsher environment and the plants and animals that live here have adapted to the harsh conditions and low water availability of this area. This 54‚000 square mile desert has its own special type of diversity. In the desert the plants and animals all depend on each other for survival. The plants that are in the area not only

nearly 800‚000 acres spans over two of North America’s great deserts‚ the Mojave and the Colorado. What I found really interesting while reading about this park is that it has two totally opposite ecosystems determined by the several mountain ranges and their elevation. While the Colorado desert is below 3‚000 feet‚ it is very dry and is host to the most drought tolerant perennial in North America‚ the creosote bush. The Mojave desert however‚ located at a higher elevation‚ is cooler and wetter
