Part D: Impact of Man on Jurong Lake Park

HUMAN EFFECTS

Some of human effects on the environment are land pollution, water pollution, oil spills, deforestation and etc. These few effects could cause animals to lose habitats, shelter or even food.

 

The above pictures shows some of the example of water pollution. Humans tend to throw litter anywhere they like even though there are bins nearby. These is because that humans are always lazy to do the extra mile.

Throwing litter on the ground is commonly seen in most of the countries. Many might think that they can litter as there are already litter around. Littering could affect the habitats of some animals and plants.

Oil spills is very dangerous to the sea creatures. Fishes living in the sea, lost the advantage to get oxygen. Fishes which finds food in the sea can frozen when they touch the oil.

THEREFORE, Human impact affect the environment BADLY.

                                                                                                                                                                   

 

Littering, swimming, fishing or feeding food to the animals are some of the restrictions found in Jurong Lake Park. As shown in the picture, we must conserve, value and enjoy the water.

 

 

 

In conclusion, my group members think that everyone plays a part in conserving nature. Easy steps to conserve nature are throw rubbish in the bin and do the 3R's, Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.
