Directions
During the meeting:
Share with Cub Scouts that animal ecosystems may be impacted by humans. Human interaction with animals can be both positive and negative. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was known as the conservation president and established several areas of the United States as national parks. Humans also have a negative impact at times. Roadways may cut off natural migration and hunting patterns for native animals. Building a wildlife crossing may help by providing wildlife a safe place to cross.
Using the ecosystem models built in requirement 2, ask Cub Scouts to make additions showing human interactions. This could a road, an animal crossing bridge, or a pond gone dry due to pumping water for farmland.
Have Cub Scouts share their human interaction addition.
