Impact on Man on Jurong Lake Park

 What will happen to This in a Few Years Time?

Natural environment is of crucial importance for social and economic life. We use the living world as a resource for food supply, an energy source, a source for recreation, natural resources for industrial products and a major source of medicines. In this respect the diversity of nature not only offers man a vast power of choice for his current needs and desires. It also enhances the role of nature as a source of solutions for the future needs and challenges of mankind. Thus, Man should never abuse it. Everyone have a part of in preserving our natural environment. Same goes for the park users in Jurong Lake Park.

Here are some of the impact Man did on Jurong Lake Park. Things like littering are acts of irresponsibility, the park user always litter and do not throw the rubbish in the dustbin although there are dustbins around them. And some of them will throw their litters in to the sea which will harm the animals in the sea. And they even put the empty bottle in between the trunks of the trees. And they have polluted the water by throwing rubbish into the sea. We should never do those things. Every park user of Jurong Lake Park has a role to protect and preserve the natural environment so we should never do selfish acts like this. Because of those impacts man had made on Jurong Lake Park, it will not make Jurong Lake Park a good and comfortable place for everyone to visit. Although it might seem to be a very small matter, but as it gets more and more serious, it might affect the whole of Jurong Lake Park.

People polluted the environment by casually dumping litter on the ground. The impact of man is indeed great. If many people litter, Jurong Lake Park will not be clean and green for us to enjoy. It will also leave a bad impression on tourists when they come to Singapore.

 The park officers maintain the park clean and green for us to enjoy. They put up signs as gentle reminders for people not to commit irresponsible or selfish acts. They also hire people to sweep the litter and leaves and clean up the park. These are examples of the conservation efforts done by them:

There are people hired by the park officers to gather the leaves and branches into one spot and sweep them into a garbage bag to dispose later. As leaves and branches may fall from the trees, it is helpful for people to sweep them up so that the drains will not be clogged up.

Because of all this littering, the Lake has become murky and the water level also down. The animals in the Lake also die because of this pollution.

So in the end, it is us, the park-users who need to take note of all these things and take part in conserving our natural environment in Jurong Lake Park.
