Human activity

Botanical Gardens is world known therefore there is a lot of human activity in this area. The Botanical Gardens has man made infrastrcuters like the train that goes around the gardens taking people on tours, ferrys and boats that contribute to the high pollution by emitting petrol and passengers throwing there rubbish off. Also new structures such as changing the wharf and putting restaurants and houses on them this then limits the area for wildlife. Human activity has impacted this Botanical Gardens dramitically by limiting the space for wildlife making some species endangered. Pollutants from boats nearby affect the quality of water and in turn the health of birds and fish. Soil degration as a result of compaction from people walking.

Human activity is not necessary negative, it can be positive for example humans designed footpaths to stop us walking in the reserved where animals are. Botanical gardens also makes a positive influence for the environment by checking the soil regularly and sustain the nurtients that are suppose to be in them. The goverment has also put in place laws and regulations to protect life in the park for example not littering or not being able to take anything from the environment if these laws and regulations have been abused a heavy fine would apply. Another positive infrastucture that humans have put in placed in order to help the environment is the implementation of gutters to protect sea life.
