Understanding the Connection of Dams and the Larger Global Environment

The interconnectedness of our global environment ranges not only from our plants and animal interactions of the biotic kingdom, but also to the non living aspects of human life: spiritual, and political sections which shape the history of our earth. Evaluating the construction of dams on a global scale provides a scope through which to examine the similarities and differences across the globe build for divergent reasons but with similar devastating end results locally and globally. Examining the political side of these projects and the displacement of people, combined with the historical importance of losing spiritual lands and monuments coalescing with ecosystem disturbances through species loss, illuminates the connection of the damage of damming our global rivers.

  1. Hey Jessy, dam's needs to be changed to plural not possessive. Maybe get rid of through and just start with evaluating since the sentence before started the same way. Scope through which instead of by which. The third sentence should also just start with examining... blah blah then after the last comma Illuminates the connection, and get rid of the end of the sentence.

    Sorry haha just a few changes suggestions
