Ecosystem Connectivity Science 10

Ecotourism Form of tourism that is sensitive to the health of an ecosystem and involves recreational activities provided by sustainable ecosystems

Connectivity The collection of links and relationships between ecosystems that are separated geographically

Disrupting Connectivity Pacific salmon Hatch in fresh water streams in temperate rain forests of BC Spend adult life in Ocean Return to birth place to spawn Bears move salmon into forests Nutrients from decayed salmon absorbed by plants

Biodiversity The number and variety of life forms found within a specific region, as well as all the number and variety of ecosystems within and beyond that region

Threats to biodiversity Deforestation Clearing forests without replanting Draining Wetlands
