Part F

Yes, the drastic increase in activities at Jurong Lake Park (JLP) has disturbed the natural environment and biodiversity there. Since there is an increase in the number of activities held there, such as the consturction sites and the increase of people that goes to JLP as more recreational activities are held there. Having more people visiting JLP is not a bad thing, however, if the people are not being considerate then it is a bad thing. Litters can be found in the lake and on the ground, even under the shelters on the benches! As the number of people that visits JLP increases, we are sure that the number of inconsiderate people would also increase as there is now, a higher chance of people being lazy and choosing to leave their rubbish behind, thinking that the cleaners hired to clean the park would clean them up. The rubbish thrown on land may also get blown away into the lake by the occasional wind there. The animals living there might think that the plastic wrappers that people throw are food, resulting in eating them up and dieing, causing the population to decrease in size.


There was a news on it saying that the amount of fishes that died in JLP has increased. This spreads the news as people are now aware that their actions are causing the animals there to die. They also put up signboards that tells the people the rules and regulations they shave to follow when they are in the park which helps to conserve the animals there by preventing it from the cause of it.


They increase the number of rubbish bins found in the park so that people would not have to walk a far distance to find a rubbish bin to throw their litters in. They also hired some cleaners that helps to clean the place so most of the rubbish would not have a chance to get to the waters before they get thrown away. Signboards are also found that asks the people not to litter.
