Theme: Small mammals
About: Small mammals population increased lots of years ago. Deer mice were the most common small mammals. It helped the ecosystem aeration and speed dispersal and as it prey for larger animals. Now, with global warming increasing, they struggle to survive in this warm temperature, and we cant replace the deer mice with any other small mammal. So the ecosystem is changing a lot. The decline in small mammals species during this period contributed to a 30 percent decline in biodiversity. Already two small mammal species are extinct.
Why is it important: This is important because we can see how global warming can get rid of many species because they cant adapt to the new climate and in a future many other animals will become extinct because of our actions of not taking care of the Earth.
