Added more content, changed colors and font of headings. I also decided to remove the sections on feral cats to simplify my main point:

Did more recoloring. Drew boxes around key text to draw attention to them.

After some feedback, rearranged the visuals in Effect and Display and removed background of graph in Cause. Also redrew some graphics to avoid using other peoples' work. A lot of the graphics I used were Image Traced from pictures I took myself.

Okay, so nice job! I really like your idea, and how I can really see your design process over time with the different iterations. I also like how you really focused on color and simplifying/clarifying your graphics to make them understandable to a viewer. The way you used a high level of abstraction on your graphics makes them simple, but easy to understand and visualize! You might be able to create even more unity by making the topic headings (with the blue ribbons) the same color as the text on the slide. Some other aspects of your design you might consider playing with are the position/scale of the different icons (esp. in the solution/effect slides) to be more purposeful. Also, I am not sure whether you have the same font for your overall title and your subtitles, but it might be good to keep things consistent. Finally, in the "cause" slide, it would be great if you could change the background color of your graph to be the same as the slide (as you did on the "effect" slide). You might even think about simplifying your graphs, such as by taking out the lines in the background. Great job overall, and I'm looking forward to the final product!
