Ecosystem Action Plan Diorama

Students will build a diorama that shows an ecosystem under threat from human activities. At least one of the activities that is threatening should be depicted, as well as the parts of the ecosytem that are at-risk. A separate report or poster may be utilized to illustrate possible actions that can restore balance, as well as one concrete action that the class can take.
