Description
Consider a major biodiversity threat/issue in a specific location (can be at a county, state, or country level). Examples include, but are not limited to: water and soil pollution due to agricultural runoff, loss of habitat due to deforestation, air pollution in an urban area due to heavy traffic, reduced fish populations due to dam construction, increased flooding due to wetland draining and or dam/construction, etc.
For this assignment, you represent a community group and are proposing a sustainable approach to solving this biodiversity problem. Make sure to consider all factors and stakeholders involved and their likely positions towards this community-based proposal. Consider that you are preparing a one-page handout or poster to spread through the community. (This Excelsior OWL resource may help you better understand how to address your audience: Summarizing (Links to an external site.).)
Thus, create an informational brochure such as an infographic or a poster (PowerPoint or a free online infographic tool such as Canva (Links to an external site.) (https://www.canva.com) are both good tools to make posters and infographics). Check this Excelsior OWL resource on presentations with descriptions and examples for PowerPoint: Presentations (Links to an external site.).
Your proposal presentation should include the following information:
- Brief description of the problem (what is the biodiversity threat and how it affects species, ecosystems, but also possibly the human health and the economic system --the effects may be positive or negative)
- Introduction of the stakeholders that have an interest in addressing or maintaining the status quo of the situation that creates the biodiversity threat
- Perceived consequences if the problem is not addressed
- Proposed solution (how, who, when, for how long; include also aspects of how you plan to efficiently communicate and advertise your solutions and involve the stakeholders)
- References (five reliable sources)

SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO SOLVE A BIODIVERSITY PROBLEM
AIR POLLUTION IN AN URBAN
AREA DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC
AIR POLLUTION IN AN URBAN
Air pollution is becoming a challenge to
developing countries across the world. Urban
areas in these countries are significantly
vulnerable to air contaminations due to
considerable amounts and various outflows in
a concentrated territory. As a result, city air
contamination is profoundly reliant upon
meteorological conditions because wind and
other geographic variables decide if outflows
are scattered. Urban air contamination
alludes to the air contamination experienced
by individuals living in and around
metropolitan regions.
Traffic-related pollutions and congestion bring it
about since they are the most significant
contributors to air pollution across all cities.
Besides, rapid growth in urban areas is
developing, reducing forest plantations.
Increasing large-scale proliferation due to
vehicles' use makes urban areas increasingly
polluted and thus highly congested in the
developing and emerging economies. "The
rapid convergence of people in the cities to
supply human resources contributes to
potential economic growth. However, it also
identifies the strains that occur on already
vulnerable resources such as housing, water,
land, and infrastructure such as transport"
