• Remember!
– Working together, and helping everyone to reach their full potential will benefit everyone in this class. We are all interconnected.

• How?
• How are humans connected to things around us?
• How are plants and animals connected?
• How are animals connected to water?
• How are animals connected to land?

• Understanding the complexity of how species are connected is the key to better management and our own well-being.
