Rivers&Streams+Conservation

Humans have made multiple impacts on the River biome environment. Some had been good, however the majority has been bad impacts. For example, human sewage flowing into rivers and streams has been a critical problem for much wildlife. It has been killing much of the fish, wildlife, and plants in the area. However, they have also had some positive impacts; there have been multiple organizations and groups that have cleaned rivers and created a better environment for wildlife. A problem in many rivers is pollution. This needs to be addressed by humans because much of the wildlife will be destroyed in rivers if it isn’t. In some places, such as the Ganges River, drinking and bathing from the river has become dangerous. Another problem is dams and blockages in rivers and streams, which blocks fish and other wildlife from reaching primary habitats for them to live in. This will also cut off and kill many species of fish and other primary wildlife.

There are multiple solutions to these problems; first, to prevent the sewage and waste from getting into the river in the first place, by dumping our waste into recycling plants, etc. Another is an organization’s help; they can help clean rivers and streams in “Mass production,” so to say. We could, instead of pouring things into the river, recycle all of our waste products and eat/drink the contents entirely, opposed to pouring/dumping them into the river. We could also have dams in rivers with a lack of fish or wildlife, so then it wouldn’t kill any in order to fuel our homes with water. There are many other ways in order to clean and save the rivers and streams biome, however these are the primary ways in order to do so.
