Medicinal Plants Baobab Tree Aloe Polyphylla Warburgia Salutarus African Tulip Tree These plants are used for making medicine to heal ill people in the world. Science had to test this before they used it, and they had to find out ways to get the medicine out of the plant. And they made machines to help as well.

Human Activity Humans are building many things in savannas, which is ok, but they are ruining the habitat of the animals by polluting, and harvesting every single plant there. Many animals are dyeing because of pollution, and because of the little food that is left. There are over 500 animals in the Savanna, and each one wants it’s own amount of food. The air that come out of the factories that are built there affect the temperature of the air, which means that some animals can die because of the bad temperature in the savanna. Many farmers take the plants to feed to THEIR animals, and leave none for the wild ones.

Human Activity People take away some of the plants there so that they can make medicine out of them, and sell it. The people who do that don’t care about the animals, and that they have to have some food to survive. Most people only do that for their benefit, and so that they can get their money. They don’t realize they are destroying the savanna, and turning it into a dry place or a desert. People take away some of the plants there so that they can make medicine out of them, and sell it.

Use Of Natural Resources This has affected the environment, money and people. People get the plant, or any other natural thing, and make something out of it, then sell it. That affects the money, in a good way, it makes it increase, but affects the environment, because the plants are being removed, and the wonderful Savanna is turning into a desert. It can affect people, because people make medicine out of plants, and that means the ill people drink that medicine and it affects them in a good way.
