How do Forces of Nature & Environment
Impact our Local Habitats?
Written By Noah
My name is Noah and I am a second grader at HTe North County. My class went to clean up Carlsbad Beach and noticed lots of trash! We decided to create a project about our dilemma. The essential question for our project was, "How do forces of nature and environment our local habitats?" We learned how trash and pollution impact the animals that live in our local habitats.
Please read my research below to learn more about our project and how you can help protect our local habitats.
Mexican Axolotl
_________________________
There are less than 1,200 Axolotls left on the planet Earthand they are are in Mexico that is a big problem!
On a Thursday, an animal rescue worker named Jose had a fish tank that used to have a fish named Axel. Axel went missing because a bad guy stole the fish because it is very rare. Jose had a son (the son's name is Matteo), and Matteo was sad because Axel was gone.
Then Jose said: “Why are you crying son? Why?”
Matteo said: “Well… well… My fish Axel went missing, because he was stolen by a robber! This is proof I caught it on tape. But I heard of another animal. It is called the Mexican Axolotl.”
Jose said: “ They are very rare Matteo, so we can not get one.” The fact is if you see an axolotl, be sure to leave it alone, because they are so rare.
But one day, Matteo’s dream came true. At 1 a.m., a bunch of Mexican axolotls walked into Matteo’s room. Then the dad came in to wake Matteo up, and he said: “This not good, son, really not good, son!” Then Matteo asked: “Why daddy why?”
Jose answered him: “Well, for one it’s too crowded in our house, and for two they are very rare!” Matteo asked: “Why dad?” And Jose answered: “Because they live in wetlands, and people are taking that water away from wetlands and that is destroying their homes.” Matteo felt really happy that he still had an opportunity to save the Axolotls from the dangers of captivity, and he said “well it’s time to let them go daddy.” So Jose

scooped them up in a net and put them in a fish tank. Then, Jose and Matteo walked and walked until they reached the wetland, and then they let the Axolotls go back into the water.
When they let them go, it was a sad moment for Matteo.
Here is a way to keep water in the wetlands: do not use wetland water. So you got it? Fast fact: people take water out of the wetlands, because they make it clean and sell it and other people drink it. The end!
There are less than 1,200 Axolotls left on planet Earth. There are 35 Javon Rhinos. They are the most endangered mammals. There are 50 Ivory Billed Woodpeckers left.
