Explain how this question will have implications to other individuals and/or my community:

I believe that this question will teach other individuals and/or my community that our ecosystem is very diverse and unique, and that we should all work together to fight climate change, to support our irreplaceable world. To progress closer to this goal, I wish to inform others through my blog posts about how special our world is and that it can never be redesigned. I hope that we can all learn useful and inspiring information through my research.
