7. Dangers for this Biome
• Some Threats creation of dams disrupting
migrating routes for fish runoff from
agriculture and areas hurts water quality
draining water from the wet land over
population invasion of exotic species harm
native animals and plants global warming

8. Solutions
• Restrict the construction of dams
• Provide incentives for farming business to
reduce the use of pesticides
• Establish protect wetlands areas
• Regulate the with draw of water for human
