The chaparral is the world's smallest biome, taking only 3% of the world's land. Although it is small, it still has plently if problems. The chaparral is dangered by the raging wildfires that dominate the scrub forest during the sweltering summer season. The fires, as they rage, dominating the land, evict the animals, who are helpless, from thier homes. Animals are forced to move and numerous different species plants and animals have becime extinct due to the fire. I lost my dear great-aunt to the fire of '06. The summer season is a time of terror for all in the chaparral.
Humans are also an environmental risk to my beautiful home. As most animals in the scrub land are herivores, we depend on the little vegitation we have. Humans come in and trample our food source, leaving us hungry.
So please, if you are a human reading this, remember as you step in grass and pull out those pesky weeds from your yard, that is food, to those who are really hungry.
