The problem (describe) : The prolem is which is that the crop that is on a large area of a field is only 1 type of crop. which was bad, as it limit the bugs to eat just only 1 crops. so its claimed that all bugs are pests. as the bugs doenst have to adaptate to eat the only single 1 crop in a area of a land field.

Affects biodiversity : the bugs leads to more population of bugs, also leads to ALOT more use of pesticide which is bad for the bugs them self as they cant eat the single crops, then it means the primary consumer in the food chain will also ran out of food as the bugs will ran out of population/

Affects eco system : the population of crops can decrease as the primary consumer may have just eat the crop it self and adaptate.

possible action : go plant some other plants as so the bugs doesnt have to go eat a one single crops as it will lead to bugs population decreasing. Also use not alot of pesticide as its bad for the food chain.

Involved : who should be involved here is the farmers, farmers are the main role for this solution, as they are the one who holds them crops to plant and spread in a field.

the Items are will be needed for this solution is :

some fence so the predator of consumers are not gone, use botanic pesticide.

1. Masalahnya apa sih?

Menurut Ritchie (2021), tiap tahun dunia kehilangan sekitar 4,7 juta hektar hutan, dan selama 10 ribu tahun terakhir manusia udah ngilangin hampir sepertiga hutan dunia.

2. Gimana ngaruhnya ke keanekaragaman hayati?

Deforestasi bikin habitat hilang, spesies jadi berkurang bahkan banyak yang terancam punah, apalagi di hutan tropis yang paling kaya keanekaragamannya.

3. Dampak ke ekosistem secara keseluruhan?

Hilangnya hutan bikin penyerapan karbon dioksida berkurang, siklus air dan tanah rusak, iklim lokal berubah, dan fungsi penting hutan jadi hilang.

4. Solusi / rencana aksi

Ritchie (2021) nyaranin reboisasi, pertanian berkelanjutan, sama kerja sama antarnegara buat nge-rem kehilangan hutan.

5. Siapa aja yang harus ikut andil?

Pemerintah, masyarakat lokal, NGO/peneliti, dan industri semua harus bareng-bareng jaga hutan.

6. Apa aja yang dibutuhin?

Dana buat reboisasi, teknologi pemantauan kayak satelit, edukasi masyarakat, sama kesepakatan antar negara.

• Referensi

Masalah yang ada

Masalahnya itu hutan ditebang besar-besaran buat kayu, bahan bangunan, lahan pertanian, sama tempat tinggal.

Dampak ke keanekaragaman hayati

Kalau hutan hilang, banyak hewan sama tumbuhan jadi nggak punya tempat tinggal. Itu bikin banyak jenis jadi berkurang atau bisa punah.

Dampak ke ekosistem

Hilangnya pohon bikin rantai makanan jadi rusak. Terus udara juga makin kotor karena pohon nggak bisa nyerap CO₂ banyak. Malah nambahin pemanasan global.

Solusi atau rencana aksi

Solusinya nanem pohon lagi (reboisasi), jaga hutan biar nggak ditebang sembarangan, dan ngurangin pakai kayu berlebihan.

Siapa aja yang perlu dilibatkan

Pemerintah, warga sekitar hutan, organisasi lingkungan, sama perusahaan.

Plastic poses a serious threat to the oceans and their diverse ecosystems.

Explain how this impacts negatively on

biodiversity :

Plastic pollution has a negative impact on biodiversity because many plastics (especially single-use plastics) do not decompose properly and pollute the environment, directly affecting animals and plants through physical contact or toxic chemicals released during decomposition or manufacturing.

Explain how this impacts negatively on the

ecosystem :

This plastic problem directly endangers animals and plants through physical contact and toxic chemicals released during decomposition or manufacturing processes. In addition, the production of plastic from petroleum as a fossil fuel exacerbates the problem. The extraction and transportation of oil through underwater pipelines often causes toxic oil spills that can destroy ecosystems and leave chemical residues in the food chain for years.

Suggest a plan of action :

The plastic problem can be addressed by reducing the use of single-use plastics, replacing them with environmentally friendly materials such as cloth bags or refillable bottles, and increasing recycling and reuse.

Who would be involved in the action plan :

Government, General public, Environmental experts / scientists, Companies and Industries, and Environmental organizations/communities.

What equipment or resources might be needed :

Recycling facilities (sorting machines, plastic processors), separate containers or trash bins to facilitate sorting, environmentally friendly alternative products such as cloth bags, refillable bottles, and biodegradable packaging, as well as cleaning tools (nets, gloves, trash bags) for beach or river clean-up programs.

1. masalahnya ?: mengurangi ragam spesies dan habitat, karena hanya satu jenis tanaman yang mendominasi, sehingga spesies tumbuhan lain tidak bisa tumbuh. Akibatnya, habitat alami bagi serangga/ spesies lain ikut hilang, kondisi ini membuat ekosistem menjadi lebih rapuh, bergantung pada pupuk dan pestisida, serta rentan terhadap hama dan penyakit.

(sumber:https://www.weforum.org/stories/2015/05/how-single-crop-farming-is-harming-wildlife/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

2. gimana ngaruhnya ke keanekaragaman hayati ? : Monokultur menghilangkan keragaman tanaman di suatu lahan, sehingga menyusutkan habitat dan sumber daya bagi berbagai organisme, termasuk serangga penyerbuk dan hewan lainnya. Tanpa variasi tumbuhan, banyak spesies kehilangan tempat tinggal dan sumber makanan

3. gimana ngaruhnya ke ekosistem?

Hilangnya habitat, Monokultur sering dilakukan dengan membuka lahan alam,seperti hutan, padang rumput, dan lahan basah, untuk membudidayakan satu jenis tanaman saja. Hal ini menyebabkan hilangnya habitat alami bagi berbagai spesies

4.apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan masalahnya?

dengan cara menanam lebih dari satu jenis tanaman atau mengganti tanaman secara bergilir agar tanah tetap subur dan habitat beragam.

The Monotony of Monocultures

Describe the problem briefly:

praktik pertanian yang merusak lingkungan dan ekosistem, mengurangi keanekaragaman hayati, membuat tanaman rentan terhadap hama dan penyakit, merusak kesuburan tanah, serta meningkatkan ketergantungan pada bahan kimia berbahaya.

the impact(on biodiversity and ecosystem):

Penghilangan Keanekaragaman Spesies Tumbuhan dan Hewan,Kurangnya Makanan dan Tempat Berlindung bagi Hewan, Peningkatan Hama dan Penyakit karena Kurangnya Keragaman Genetik,Penggunaan Pestisida, Herbisida, dan Bahan Kimia yang Lebih Tinggi dan Degradasi Tanah dan Hilangnya Mikroorganisme Tanah.

plan of action:

menerapkan Rotasi Tanaman: Ganti jenis tanaman secara berkala di lahan yang sama untuk menjaga kesuburan tanah dan mengganggu siklus hama.

Penggunaan Pupuk yang Tepat: Aplikasikan pupuk kimia secara terukur dan hanya di area yang membutuhkan, dibantu teknologi, untuk menghindari kerusakan tanah dan ekosistem.

Kurangi Bahan Kimia Berbahaya: Minimalisir penggunaan pestisida dan herbisida buatan, atau beralih ke pilihan organik, karena bahan kimia ini merusak ekosistem dan penyerbuk.

Efisiensi Air: Optimalkan penggunaan air dengan menanam dekat sumber air dan meningkatkan kemampuan tanah menahan air, misalnya melalui rotasi tanaman.

Mendukung Penyerbuk: Ciptakan habitat khusus dan tanam bunga di sekitar lahan untuk menyediakan makanan bagi serangga penyerbuk yang vital.

Beralih ke Polikultur: Terapkan sistem pertanian dengan berbagai jenis tanaman yang ditanam secara bergantian, karena ini adalah alternatif terbaik untuk monokultur dalam menjaga kesehatan tanah dan melindungi dari hama.

Dukung Inisiatif Hijau: Pemerintah atau organisasi dapat memberikan insentif kepada petani yang mengadopsi metode pertanian ramah lingkungan

Impact on Biodiversity: Animals like turtles, birds, and fish can mistake plastic for food or get stuck in it. This can hurt or even kill them. Tiny organisms also swallow microplastics, and that puts their survival at risk.

Impact on Ecosystem: When small organisms are affected, the whole food chain is in trouble. Microplastics move from fish to bigger animals, and even to humans when we eat seafood. The ocean becomes polluted, species start to disappear, and the ecosystem loses its balance.

Solutions: We need to reduce single-use plastics, recycle more, and use eco-friendly alternatives like reusable bags and bottles. Clean-up actions are also important, and people should be educated about how serious this problem is.

Who’s Involved: This needs teamwork: governments, companies, NGOs, scientists, and of course, all of us as individuals.

What’s Needed: Better recycling technology, eco-friendly products, strong laws, funding, and volunteers who are ready to act

APA Format:

Laura Parker May 28, 2025.  The world’s plastic pollution crisis, explained. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/plastic-pollution

Describe the problem briefly :

the problem of plastic in the ocean is that tons of plastic waste end up in seas every year, harming marine life and ecosystems. Animals often mistake plastic for food or get trapped in it, which can cause injury or death. Over time, plastics break down into microplastics that contaminate the water, enter the food chain, and even affect human health. This pollution also damages coastal environments and threatens biodiversity.

Explain how this impacts negatively on biodiversity :

Plastic pollution reduces biodiversity because many marine animals die from ingesting or getting entangled in plastic, disrupting food chains and threatening the survival of various species.

Explain how this impacts negatively on the ecosystem :

Plastic pollution harms ecosystems by releasing toxic chemicals, disrupting food chains, damaging habitats, reducing water quality, and weakening the ocean’s ability to support life.

The solution:

Suggest a plan of action. (How could you solve the problem?) :

- Reduce Your Use of Single Use Plastics, the best way to do this is by refusing any single use plastics that you do not need.

- Spread the Word, stay informed on issues related to plastic pollution and help make others aware of the problem.

( February 24, 2023 • Blue Habits Tips, Resources https://www.oceanicsociety.org/ )

Who would be involved in the action plan :

We have been engaging with a wide set of stakeholders, including industry leaders, environmental nongovernmental organizations, the scientific community, and state and local governments, as well as with Tribal nations, to take into account their perspectives in formulating our approach for a plastic pollution agreement.

( https://www.state.gov/office-of-environmental-quality/plastic-pollution#:~:text=We%20have%20been%20engaging%20with,for%20a%20plastic%20pollution%20agreement. )

What equipment or resources might be needed? :

- Reusable alternatives,

Carry reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and food containers to minimize the use of single-use plastics.

- Washing Systems,

Essential for cleaning shredded plastic, removing contaminants like dirt and food residue to ensure the quality of the recycled material.

The main problem pandas face is habitat loss due to deforestation and human activities. This reduces their bamboo food supply and fragments their living space. Pandas also reproduce very slowly, which makes it harder for their population to recover.

Explain how this impact negatively on biodiversity

This negatively impacts biodiversity because it causes the loss of natural habitats, a decrease in species populations, ecosystem fragmentation, and an increased risk of extinction for plants and animals. In addition, environmental damage disrupts ecosystem balance, reducing essential functions such as oxygen production, carbon storage, and food resources

Explain how this impact negatively on the ecosystem

This negatively impacts the ecosystem because the loss of species and habitats disrupts food chains, reduces biodiversity, and weakens ecosystem services such as clean water, air, and soil fertility. As a result, the balance of nature is disturbed, making the ecosystem less stable and more vulnerable to further damage.

Suggest a plan of action (how could you solve the problem)

The problem can be solved by protecting and restoring habitats, enforcing laws against illegal activities, and supporting conservation programs like panda reserves and breeding centers

Who would be involed in the action plan

The action plan would involve the government, environmental organizations, local communities, and scientists working together to protect and conserve biodiversity

What equipment or resources might be needed?

The action plan would involve the government, environmental organizations, local communities, and scientists working together to protect and conserve biodiversity

1. Waste is generated due to population growth, while the space available for waste disposal is becoming increasingly limited. Much of the waste that cannot be recycled is eventually burned as fuel or buried in landfills.

2. With the increasing amount of waste caused by population growth, non-recyclable waste is often buried in landfills, where toxic substances from the waste can seep into the soil and water, polluting the surrounding environment. This pollution damages natural habitats and disrupts the food chain, leading to a decline in populations of various organisms and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, the use of land for waste disposal reduces living space for plants and animals, worsening overall ecosystem damage. Therefore, poor waste management significantly contributes to the decline of biodiversity in an area.

3. Soil and Water Pollution
   Waste dumped in landfills decomposes and produces toxic chemicals that can seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater. This can damage natural habitats and negatively affect soil organisms as well as drinking water quality.

4. Poor waste management can harm the soil, water, and air, disrupting the balance of ecosystems. To address these impacts, we need to:

• Reduce waste production,

• Recycle and reuse materials,

• Use environmentally friendly technology,

• Make compost from organic waste,

• Increase public awareness,

• And enforce strict waste management regulations.

5. Good waste management requires the involvement of all parties: communities responsible for sorting and reducing waste; governments that create policies and provide management facilities; companies that must manage their production waste in an environmentally friendly manner; schools that educate students on the importance of environmental care; and environmental organizations that actively raise awareness and mobilize the public. Cooperation among all parties is essential to minimize the impact of waste on ecosystems.

6. Effective waste management requires trained human resources to handle waste, sufficient funding to build and maintain treatment facilities, environmentally friendly technologies such as recycling machines and clean incinerators, and adequate land for landfills. Additionally, information and education for the public are important so they become aware and actively participate in waste management.

1. Masalahnya: Populasi manusia di sekitar habitat panda di Tiongkok, terutama di area konservasi seperti Wolong Nature Reserve, meningkat pesat dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Pertumbuhan ini menyebabkan konversi lahan untuk pertanian, pemukiman, dan infrastruktur, sehingga habitat panda semakin terfragmentasi dan terdegradasi.

   
   

2. Pengaruh keanekaragaman hayati: Meningkatnya populasi manusia memperbesar tekanan terhadap habitat panda, yang membuat spesies ini terancam punah. Karena panda hidup dalam ekosistem yang kaya spesies, kerusakan pada habitatnya juga berdampak luas pada keanekaragaman hayati secara keseluruhan, mengganggu keseimbangan ekologis dan mempercepat hilangnya spesies lainnya.

   
   

3. Pengaruh ke ekosistem: Ketika populasi manusia meningkat, kebutuhan akan lahan juga bertambah, menyebabkan habitat panda rusak dan menyusut. Akibatnya, panda menjadi terancam punah. Kehilangan panda mengganggu keseimbangan ekosistem, yang pada akhirnya membuat spesies lain ikut terancam. Jika hal ini terus berlanjut, fungsi alami ekosistem akan melemah dan berdampak buruk bagi kehidupan makhluk hidup secara keseluruhan.

   
   

4. Solusi: Solusi utama adalah menjaga keseimbangan antara pembangunan manusia dan konservasi alam.

5. Yang terlibat: pemerintah, masyarakat, ilmuwan, dan organisasi konservasi.

6. Hal - hal yang dibutuhkan: Agar populasi manusia dan panda bisa hidup berdampingan, kita butuh kebijakan yang tegas, teknologi yang tepat, serta masyarakat yang sadar dan terlibat.

   
   

7. APA format: https://planethome.eco/pandas-on-the-rise/

long-term environmental and health problems caused by old, often unregulated, landfills that continue to release toxic substances and greenhouse gases into the surrounding environment. Key issues include water contamination from leachate, air pollution from harmful gases like methane, soil degradation, and risks to human health, including respiratory problems and potential for explosive gas buildup. These hazards are compounded by the fact that historic landfills often lack modern containment measures and may be vulnerable to flooding, which increases the spread of contaminants.

impact on biodiversity:

contaminating soil and water with leachate, a liquid containing heavy metals and toxins that harms plants and animals. Habitat loss and fragmentation also occur due to the physical footprint of landfills, further degrading ecosystems. This contamination can lead to "dead zones" in water bodies, reduce plant growth and germination, and introduce toxins into the food chain, threatening both terrestrial and aquatic life.

impact on ecosystem:

greenhouse gas emissions (methane, CO2) contributing to climate change, leachate leakage contaminating soil and water with heavy metals and toxic chemicals, habitat destruction by consuming large land areas, and the bioaccumulation of contaminants in the food chain, affecting wildlife and human health.

resolution:

developing resource recovery systems to promote a circular economy, implementing effective landfill aftercare, and utilizing advanced technologies for treating leachate.

Describe the problem briefly:

Deforestation is the large-scale removal of trees for fuel (building materials, agriculture, and housing and stuff. This destroys habitats places to live for species and plants)

Explain how this impacts negatively on

biodiversity:

Deforestation causes the loss of homes for many species, food sources and ecosystem. It disrupts food chains and lowers overall species diversity in affected ecosystems and makes it a mess.

Explain how this impacts negatively on the ecosystem:

Less trees or plants mean less CO2 is absorbed, contributing to the climate change. It disrupts food chains and lowers overall species diversity in affected ecosystems and makes it a mess.

The Solution

Suggest a plan of action (How could you solve the problem?):

Plant the trees again to restore forests (reforestation).,Promote sustainable forestry and reduce and don't allow illegal logging,Use alternative materials and renewable energy sources to reduce the use of trees

Tree seedlings and planting tools,Funding for conservation projects,Educational materials and workshops,Monitoring tools such as drones or satellite mapping,Legislation and enforcement mechanisms and more

Notes :

When forests lose trees and are degraded or converted into something else, they lose their ability to regulate the climate and be our allies in the fight against the climate crisis. Deforestation also leads to the loss of biodiversity, threatening countless species that call these forests home and disrupting ecosystems that have evolved over millennia. Moreover, the people who rely on forests for their way of life (whether for food, medicine, or income) can also face devastating consequences when those forests are destroyed. That’s why combating deforestation is vital for the health of people and our planet.

The devastation of Deforestation

Describe the problem briefly:

Deforestation is the large-scale removal of trees for fuel , building materials, agriculture, and housing and stuff. This destroys habitats places to live for species and plants

Explain how this impacts negatively on biodiversity:

Deforestation causes the loss of homes for many species, there food sources,ecosystem ,and more. Some species may become endangered or extinct because of that. It disrupts food chains and lowers overall species diversity in affected ecosystems and makes it a mess.

Explain how this impacts negatively on the ecosystem:

Less trees or plants mean less CO2 is absorbed, contributing to the climate change.less places for species to live and have a place to live theylike I already said can get endangered or extinct because of that It disrupts food chains and lowers overall species diversity in affected ecosystems and makes it a mess.

The Solution

Suggest a plan of action (How could you solve the problem?):

Plant the trees again to restore forests (reforestation).,Promote sustainable forestry and reduce and don't allow illegal logging,Use alternative materials and renewable energy sources to reduce the use of trees

Who would be involved in the action plan (e.g., experts, the public, government)?

Government agencies, Environmental organizations,Local communities and farmers Schools and educators (to educate about this stuff)

What equipment or resources might be needed?

Tree seedlings and planting tools,funding for conservation projects,educational materials and workshopss and more

problem:While the first step in improving recycling rates needs to be investment in municipal collecting and sorting, advanced recycling can help by complementing traditional recycling methods.

Traditional mechanical recycling is an excellent way to recycle clean plastics of a single type, like water bottles. However, it has difficulty removing oils, grease or food waste from the used plastic, so many food and oil-based product containers are discarded, usually to a landfill.

explain:Maybe you’ve seen the video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose, or the headlines about whales washing ashore with stomachs full of plastic. With so much plastic pollution floating in the ocean, it’s too easy for wildlife to mistake it for food — and too often, they pay the price with their lives. The good news is that more people, communities, states and companies are moving away from the single-use plastics we don’t even need. Because after all, nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute our environment and threaten wildlife for hundreds of years.

effect: Single-use plastic bottles are a rapidly growing source of plastic pollution that are by and large also unnecessary.

solution:Plastic pollution and plastic waste are growing problems, particularly in our oceans. Around 80% of ocean plastic flows from sources on land and has a devastating impact on marine life. We can all play our part to turn the tide on plastic pollution and plastic waste. Deposit return schemes and reverse vending are land-based solutions to this ocean-borne problem – and we can all get involved.
