For this extra credit activity, you are asked to combat
habitat destruction directly.
Iowa is the most ecologically altered state in the Union.
That means that we have the lowest percentage of our land
in pre-settlement ecosystems. 85% of Iowa was once
tallgrass prairie. Not coincidentally, 85% of Iowa is now
devoted to row crop agriculture. Iowa has less than
one-tenth of one percent (<0.01%) of our native prairie
ecosystem left intact.
Iowa needs our help! Habitat restoration efforts have a
huge impact in our state.
Consider how you can get involved in habitat restoration
projects in your area.
If you participate in a conservation event or activity,
write up the details of what you did, what you learned, and how it
ties into class for your extra credit points.
