The diagram entitled “Buffalo Population in the West 1800-1889” showed the decrease of buffalo during this time period. Between the years of 1870 and 1889, the buffalo population fell from 15 million to a near population of 0. This evidence shows that the human interaction with the animals of the land was a negative impact because of how dramatically the population of buffalo dropped. By looking at this evidence, it can be seen that humans did not focus on how big of a negative impact that could possibly be caused due to the lack of care towards the land. In the year 1963, it was seen that 83 million Americans owned automobiles. It was then found that there was a connection between smog and car emissions. This piece evidence showed that humans were negatively impacting the environment by polluting the earth. By owning 83 million cars, carbon dioxide emissions would increase making the temperature of the earth increase and cause many problems such as rising oceans. This problem resulted due to apathy towards the land. These examples show that the geography of the land was affected negatively because humans did not show care until the land and animals were impacted
