APES- Chapter 1 Chapter Summary Key Theories in Environmental Sciences Case Study: Shrimp, Mangroves, and Pickup Trucks ? This case study highlights the plight of a small farmer in Thailand in the shrimp farming business. He makes his living by carving out small ponds among the mangrove forests, destroying a habitat valuable for its support of coastal fisheries in the process. The small farms are not managed in a sustainable manner and when the water in the pond is so polluted with waste that it is no longer productive the farmer has to move on and carve out new ponds. One half of the world?s mangroves have been destroyed. This chapter discusses the connections between people and nature, emphasizes the global scope of environmental problems, the

Botkin & Keller- 8th Edition Chapter #1- Key Themes in Environmental Sciences Guided Reading Name: _____________________________________ Due Date: __________________ 1. What does the Amboseli Case study illustrate about environment science? The Amboseli story illustrates that many environmental factors operate together, and that causes of change can be subtle and complex. 2. Why do estimates of how many people the planet can support range from 2.5 billion to 40 billion? Explain. The answer depends on what quality of life people are willing to accept. Beyond a threshold world population of about 4?6 billion, the quality of life declines. How many people the Earth can sustain depends on science and values and is also a question about people and nature.
