Assessment 4-4

The next time you are driving along an Alberta highway, you might find yourself passing a wetland area.  You might notice the tall reeds and cattails that grow around the shallow waters.  Ducks or geese may be resting there or even building nests in the spring.   You might reflect on how important wetlands are and why managing them well is important. 

Construct a conservation plan for a wetland in Alberta. In your plan include:

• reasons the wetlands need conservation 
  
• three activities by humans that threaten diversity in wetlands
  
• damage caused by these behaviours
  
• three human actions that can be taken to conserve wetland habitats
  
• steps that can be taken by individuals and/or groups
  

When you are done, submit Assessment 4-4 to the Submission folder below.
