Summary Introduction

To determine: In what ways human activities have influenced the biogeographic distribution of animals.

Introduction: As members of an ecosystem, humans interact with their environment and influence it in several ways. The environment provides humans with shelter, food resources, warmth, protection, medicine, and other resources. Human activities benefit the environment by acting as a host to several life forms, helping in pollination of plants, helping to maintain the ecological balance, act as an active member of the different food cycles, and other such effects.
