Flow Map Informational Essay
Introduction:
Have you ever wondered how an ecosystem is affected by change? Did you know
that people can destroy an ecosystem? What happens if too many predators are added
to an ecosystem? Let me explain how these changes affect the ecosystem.
To begin with
Extinction
No natural predators
People brought in
predators
Destroyed Dodo
Furthermore
Other Factors
Finally
Destroys the
Ecosystem
Additional predators
Predators ate the food
Dodo bird dies
Predators die
Could not adapt
Circle of Life
Conclusion: In conclusion, the change in the ecosystem caused the extinction of the
dodo bird. People need to be more careful when changing an ecosystem. People should
research before changing the environment around the ecosystem.
Have you ever wondered how an ecosystem is affected by change? Did you know
that people can destroy an ecosystem? What happens if too many predators are added
to an ecosystem? Let me explain how these changes affect the ecosystem.
To begin with, too many changes could cause the extinction of one or more living
things. The article states that the dodo bird did not have any natural predators, but the
people brought dogs and cats and they destroyed all the dodo bird’s food. The dogs and
cats also became a predator to the bird.
Furthermore, other factors can also be a threat to an ecosystem. For instance, on
page 2, the third paragraph states people brought other predators besides dogs and
cats. These predators ate the resources of the dodo bird. The bird could not adapt to the
changes in the ecosystem.
Finally, all these changes destroyed the dodo bird’s habitat. With the extinction of
the dodo bird came the extinction of the predators. The “Circle of Life” is no longer
balanced and cannot survive.
In conclusion, the change in the ecosystem caused the extinction of the dodo bird.
People need to be more careful when changing an ecosystem. People should research
before changing the environment around the ecosystem.
