3. Talk to your grandparents or other relatives or friends that have lived in the vicinity of your family home for a long time. How have natural, agricultural, and urban ecosystems changed? Make a map showing the landscape mosaic over a radius of 1 kilometre around your family home 50 years ago. Compare the map of 50 years ago with the map from

‘Things to think about’ in Chapter 5 (ie, a map of the ecosystems today).

How has the landscape mosaic changed during the past 50 years? (If there were no houses in your area 50 years go, make the map for a more recent time such as 30–40 years ago.) If possible, make a series of maps that show progressive change in the landscape mosaic over time.
