The Environmentalist

The Environmentalist (and Historian)

You must look at the impact that a theme park would bring to the natural resources and historical value of your region.

Things to think about:

A) How much woodlands would be cut down?

B) Are there wetlands and other natural wildlife areas that would be affected?

C) Are there historical sites that would be ruined or lost to construction?

D) Can a theme park be built and preserve the special areas of your region?
