This overview discusses the extreme environmental conditions of desert biomes, highlighting the major limiting factors such as extreme heat that inhibit wildlife survival. It addresses significant threats like global warming, excessive animal grazing, and the dumping of nuclear waste, which are damaging the delicate desert ecosystem. Additionally, it identifies endangered species like the prairie dog and ocelot, whose populations are dwindling due to habitat loss and human activity. Understanding these challenges is crucial for the conservation of desert environments and their inhabitants.

Limiting Factors • The major limiting factor is extreme heat this makes it almost impossible for most animals to live there.
How has your biome been destroyed, or how can it be destroyed?
Major Threats • Global warning is a threat in the desert because it is drying up water holes. • Two many animals grazing that is destroying the vegetation. • Nuclear waste is being dumped in the desert and nuclear power plants is being placed in the desert which is destroying habitats
Endangered Species • Prairie Dog- The prairie dog is going endangered because of lost habitat, because of urban development • Ocelot- There is only 100,000 ocelots left in the United states, they are being hunted for their fur and sometimes they hit by cars during migration • Gorilla- Gorilla’s are extinct in the desert because of illegal hunting and advanced civilization • White Rhinoceros- are extinct because of loss of habitat due to advanced civilization
