Discuss some of the environmental challenges and benefits of urbanization
Develop a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with visual aids (these should be placed in the box below each slide or attached as a separate document) that explains the prairie dog land management issue, using your Gamescape Episode 2 Results PDF as a resource. APA format is needed for the title slide, citations, and references. Transitions should also be included to aid in the flow from one slide to the next. Include the following points:
A short introduction
discuss some of the environmental challenges and benefits of urbanization. Explain how the prairie dog land management issues are related to the challenges of urbanization.
Explain the factors that influence population growth using prairie dogs as an example to illustrate your points.
Briefly review how the natural environment is needed to support cities. Use the ecological role of prairie dogs and their benefit to land management.
Describe the different policies that the city explored to manage prairie dog population growth, and discuss how these policies are rooted in environmental science and population dynamics (the study of how populations change over time).
Discuss the final management decision, and explain how it balanced urban development with environmental sustainability. Include major challenges you faced in addressing this issue and reaching an optimal solution.
Among the challenges, discuss how environmental hazards affect human population and if this impacted the final decision with urban development.
