As a veteran in the study of the world's biomes, you know more than anyone on the island about the natural resources available in many climates. Fortunately, you can help your group members understand what parts of your environment will help you survive. Consider the following elements and any others you might consider as you compile your information:
- Will the weather influence the safety and survival of your group?
- What natural resources are readily available in the surrounding rainforests, beach, and sea?
- What does the terrain look like?
- What parts of this land and its life are dangerous?
