It means, in a polluted area, the darker moths cannot be seen by birds less likely to be eaten. 3. 500 light colored moths and 500 dark colored moths are released into a polluted forest. After 2 days the moths were recaptured, using your data, make a prediction about the number of each type of moth that would be captured. - The dark colored moths will adapt easier in the polluted forest than the light colored ones, after two days, we will notice a massive drop in the number of light colored moths due to predators the number that would be captured might be 10 dark colored vs 1 light colored
You may be asking yourself, “If wetlands are so important, why aren’t there more of them?” The answer is quite simple; we did not always know they were so important. In previous generations wetlands were seen as a wasteland because they could not be farmed or constructed on. In fact until 1986 Federal law allowed farmers to deduct wetland-draining costs from their taxes as a farm improvement expense. This meant an incredible amount of wetlands were destroyed. In fact between 1780 and 1980 sixty acres of wetland were destroyed every hour (ODW).
Society is obsessed with productivity becoming cheap, which has made more problems regarding pesticides. Humans are not respecting the design of nature and valuing the relationship, the animals and plants have with each other. The animals eat the plants that have no use and the animals fertilize the plants. Over 10 million herbicides have been poured on the land of the farmers that has caused them to loose about 90% diversity and their soil is depleting quicker. What they’re farming are not animals, but are farming grass.
Taro is much more work. You've got to plant it one by on unlike wheat your throw your hand to spread the seed, and these New Guinea crops can't be stored for years the way wheat can-they rot quickly and need to eaten in a short time. They're also low in
Colony Collapse Disorder The colony collapse disorder of honeybees has become a very problematic issue. The Natural Resources Defense Council states that nearly that nearly one-third of all honeybee colonies in the country have vanished, putting many fruits and vegetables at risk. A controversial type of pesticide called neonicotinoids has become a prime suspect in this phenomenon, as it affects bees’ sense of direction and making it hard for them to find home. In order to prevent this disaster from continuously occurring, neonicotinoids should be banned or used more sparingly and replaced with an alternative type of pesticide. Author Brandon Keim, author of article “Controversial Pesticide Linked to Bee Collapse” states neonicotinoids began to be used in the mid-1990s as less-toxic alternatives to human-damaging pesticides.
The farmers had money to plant new crops, and within a few years the situation in the Great Plains was back to normal. The farmers were paid to plant and grow trees around their field, and used many new soil conservation methods and farming techniques that helped prevent dust bowls in the future 1950s drought and the 1987-1989 drought. Even though the 1987-1989 did cause a lot of damage and negative economical impact, it was not because of dust storms, but because of forest fires, and as states the ncdc.noaa.gov website because of ‘‘losses in energy, water, ecosystems and agriculture.'' It also states that ‘‘the total cost of the three-year drought was estimated at $39 billion.'' this is a great number compared to the expenses caused by the dust bowl which were according to the drought.unl.edu site only one billion US dollars.
The setting was in an orchard field where most of the trees were dead. It is the year 2098 and after the apocalypse and the environment is struggling as are the human race. The apocalypse was so bad that all of the bees were forced to extinction. The farm is owned by a lady named Sarah and her man Zed. They take in orphan girls and raise them as their own.

So what happened?? Without self-sufficient crops, many fell into poverty… …And were taken over by the bigger farms. However, wheat imports fell by 75%… …But exports of olive oil, wine meat and eggs fell, as countries didn’t trade with Italy – “He’s not buying my wheat, I won’t buy his wine. hah!” Price of bread rose. A huge propaganda campaign was released to try and help them achieve autarky.
