Environmental Solutions MAG
If I had access to anything I needed to help the world, the first thing I would do is research. I would look at statistics for the population of animals and their habitats. This would give me a better understanding of how to help save species and the necessities they require.
I would have people enter the areas they inhabit currently and see what changes I can make that would benefit all creatures in the area. This could be anything from relocating certain species to terraforming the land. I would also create systems to temporarily protect endangered species. This way, I could work on a better, more permanent solution without having to worry about population numbers decreasing.
One thing to remember is that some species aren’t meant to live in a certain place. Take jumping worms (Amynthas Agrestis), for example. They’re a type of earthworm that hitched a ride through some sort of vessel and slowly took over. They eat earthworm’s food sources and push others out. Because of how fast jumping worms eat, they aren’t even able to give the nutrients back to the soil, like the other species of worms do. This ruins the balance of the environment, and removing them would benefit many other species, not just other soil creatures.
Other invasive species are the same way. That being said, many habitats and species would benefit from the invasive species being transported back to the areas they belong in.
Once I’ve researched, changed the land’s format, and removed invasive species, I’ll be able to help each animal more directly. I would set up reserves for the animals where each type would thrive in a more controlled environment. Plus, I would use the DNR system to monitor species in the wild, and if numbers continue to decrease, I would check out the situation personally.
However, my system would help keep numbers more balanced and protect many different species of animals.
