and how has/is this change managed?
2/. What might some of the future implications of these changes be to the places and/or environments you have
researched?
3/. Make predictions of what the place/s or environment/s you have researched might look like in 15 years time?
4/. Why are interconnections and interdependencies important for the future of one of the places and/or environments
you have researched?

for evidence of reference to ‘causes and consequences’, ‘sustainability’, ‘places and environments’ and ‘interconnections
and interdependencies’.
