IMPACTS OF MAN ON Jurong Lake Park
1) Littering
Humans polluted the environment by casually dumping litter, example, sweet wrappers, can drinks, cigarette butts, and plastic bags and bottles caps on the ground or into the lake. As such, they turned the originally clean and hygienic park into a dirty one. The lake is also filled with murky water, affecting aquatic life greatly. And as a result, many fishes were unable to adapt to their new environment and died. Our school, JSS (Jurong Secondary School 
Litters like plastic bags, decomposed at a very slow rate
in the environment. The plastic will produce chemicals when they slowly
decompose and the chemicals are harmful to the plants. The animals eating the
plants will be affected in a way or another too. They also pollute the water
and the marine animals living in the lake. The plastic bags can trap fishes in
them and thus, due to lack of oxygen and food, the fishes will gradually die. Nevertheless, litter also destroys the beauty and scenery of
the park which make people avoid these areas. We hope that there will be more
users in the park and we can join forces together to protect the park for more
people to see and know.
2) Deforestation
Trees are very important as they produce oxygen for humans to breathe. Without them, we are not able to survive. Unfortunately, man is capable of introducing large amount of carbon dioxide into the environment through human activities which put an extra burden on nature in the ecosystems, which can upset the balanced state of the natural cycles. Some human activities include deforestation. It is evident that the increasing exploitation of land for human use greatly reduces the area of each wildlife habitat as well as the total area surface.
Deforestation can lead to:- Lesser species diversity, due to reduced habitable surface area.- The reduction of the size of habitats and thus reduces the
genetic diversity of the species living there.This has significant negative impacts on the organisms’ survival.
The conditions under which the reduction of habitats often occur prevent living
organisms making use of their normal ways to flee their threatened habitat.
Those escape routes include migration to other habitats and adaptation to the
changing environment. To make matter worse, when organisms cannot adapt to
their new habitats, they may die.
