Case Study
Choose one area in the world that is of interest to you and research how population changes have contributed to changes in the environment. This can be a negative or a positive change. One way to approach this topic is to look at tourism. Many countries rely on tourism to enhance their economic output and use the income to improve the general standard of living of the population.
Tourist infrastructure, however, can also divert important resources away from other economically important areas, so that environmental degradation can result.
Your task is to investigate a real case scenario, look at the pros and cons of development, and discuss the outcome with the class.
