NParks Learning Journey Assignment

By Mark, Joel, Meng Loong and Elliot

Although we want to have more urban environments for humans to

live in, we also cannot live without natural environments for flora and

fauna, so we should have a balance between urban environments

and natural environments to ensure the continuity of people, fauna

and flora.

VS

Urban Natural

So, this problem leads to the big question…

How do we keep a balance between urban and natural environments?

The Answers• We can reduce pollution by not littering everywhere, instead we should

throw our litter into the garbage bins. This will help preserve habitats

for living things, where animals might eat the litter by accident and die.

• We should also cut down on deforestation so as to save more trees,

which is an example of a natural environment, and also prevent soil

erosion, so that the soil will not pollute water bodies leading to more

dead animals but we can cut down some but not too many trees for

urban environments like houses and buildings, so that we create a

balance between both environments.

• We should also limit the number of factories as they pollute the

environment and air that we breathe in, therefore we will all breathe in

the harmful and toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide, which then may

cause acid rain which will harm more living things, like ourselves.
