Environmental Changes by Humans and Animals

The video explores how humans and animals change their environments. It begins with the transformation of New York City by humans and then examines how animals like prairie dogs, termites, squirrels, and beavers also alter their habitats. Prairie dogs engineer burrows, termites build mounds, squirrels inadvertently plant trees, and beavers create wetlands by building dams. The video concludes by highlighting that environmental change is a natural process shared by all living beings, including humans.
