Blog Post #2

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog post, today I will be identifying the three subcategories that I will be dividing my inquiry question into to help my find an answer. My inquiry question is “What are the effects of urbanization on biodiversity and ecosystem health?”. I can split this into the following subtopics:

1. What is the impact of noise and light pollution from urban areas?
2. How does urbanization contributes to habitat fragmentation and loss?
3. What can be done about the negative effects of urbanization?
   

These three subtopics will help my form an answer to my inquiry question through research across the next few blog posts exploring each subtopic.

Five resources I could use to aid with my research are:

This question was made from personnel interest after seeing articles and videos related to this topic and wanting to know more. This question could mainly raise awareness on the negative effects of urbanization and spreading awareness for the environment
