This page shows the letter that we had to write to the residents of maribyrnong about the Iramoo Grassland Ecosystem.

Dear residents,

I am writing this letter to inform you the residents of Iramoo about the iramoo grassland. Grassland ecosystems are one of the main endangered ecosystems in Victoria. Iramoo Grassland is beautiful grassland with various kinds of animals and plants and animals. As we all know one of the major issues that affects the iramoo are introduced species and decline of native species!

One of the major issues that affects the ecosystem is the introduction of Plants, Prickly pear cactus. Prickly pear cactus absorbs all the nutrients and water in the soil, as a result other plants are being destroyed and this affects the herbivore animals which will not have any food to eat and it will affect the carnivores who depends on the herbivores , this means that the whole ecosystem will be affected.

Another major issue is that kangaroos are being hit by cars.this is because the people aren’t obeying the road signs and driving too fast. This dying of kangaroos will affect the ecosystem bcaouse the kangaroo’s population will decrease and the producers will increase and will affect the ecosystem

Australia Grassland Iramoo is being affected by introduced species and death of kangaroos, what we can do is stop planting more prickly pear catuses and obey the road signs , so we don’t get our native animals go extinct

Yours Sincerely Malnu :)
