🛡️Biosecurity - Reading task🛡️
Talofa lava unicorns, aliens, viewers or who or whatever you are and welcome back to my blog!

For Reading we have been learning about Biosecurity, and from my understanding I think Biosecurity is defined as a security which helps protects us from pests, diseases and unwanted creatures. Biosecurity is very important to New Zealand and we need it so the human population in Aotearoa don't get sick! Here is the link to the text we read - Click to read about Biosecurity! - For my Reading I have also included a screencastify of me reading my work outloud.

Biosecurity - Follow Up Questions!


What is biosecurity?
Biosecurity is a security that helps us to keep us  protected from diseases, pests and
unwanted creatures. Without Biosecurity we would have a lot of diseases spreading around
and they would be affecting our agriculture, our health and even our human population!


Why is it important to protect our environment?
It is very important to our environment to have biosecurity because since we already have our
native animals, plants and fungi we have to keep those things safe. We now have a few
predators on our land which has made New Zealand more unique; unfortunately this also
means that our species don’t have as much of defence as they should which causes some
diseases, infections and pests to come onto the border.


Explain 2 different kind of technology of technology involved with Biosecurity.
The first kind of technology we use which is involved with Biosecurity is a scanner. We us a
scanner to detect whether or not a certain person or yourself is carrying a certain disease
with them that could affect others.


One other type of Technology you can use people use within biosecurity is a microscope; You
use a microscope to look inside of the little disease's inside the blood that they take out of
an/some animal(s) with a syringe with a needle. This is how they see if their are diseases
in animals.
