Ms Livia's Answer

mslivia — 2023-04-19 02:03:51 UTC

1. What is the strategy about?
- selected a suitable area to protect (e.g. areas with endangered species)
- fund the right amount of money for the protected area (just enough to nurture and protect it)
- make sure the protected area is not surrounded by places that emit harmful gases (e.g. factories, roads)

2. Examples of the strategy?
- Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve provides a place for rest during the migration of different birds/ animals
- provides a habitat for different animals
- mangroves (which only have 60-70 plant species) can thrive in the wetland reserve

3. Strength(s) (Optional)
- endangered species of plants/ animals can be protected and/ or increase their populations
- lessen soil erosion
- greenhouse gases from the atmosphere can be taken in by the trees in the protected areas, lowering the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere
- provides a habitat for different animals
- trees in the protected areas act as a barrier from floods
- cools down atmosphere

4. Limitation(s) (Optional)
- less developed countries may struggle to establish protected areas due to lack of funding
- some counties do not have enough space to establish a protected area
- natural disasters can also destroy protected areas (e.g. hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.)

1. What is the strategy about
The strategy is about encouraging people to help rehabilitate disturbed areas by telling them that if they help the one that contributes the most will get an exclusive prize.
2. Describe an example of the strategy
For example, they wanted to encourage people to help them plant trees in that area they could put out flyers saying that the person who plants the most trees gets a ten dollars popular voucher.
3. Strengths of the strategy
1- It will most likely attract more people due to the prize
2- It will encourage people to be more determined and competitive as only the most hardworking can get the prize.
4. Limitations of the strategy
1- The hosts must set a budget for themselves so as not to overspend on the prizes
2- Some people might get to determined for the prize and cause harm to their own body.

1.
the strategy is about reaching out to people who want to protect the environment, no matter the place then going to "disturbed" areas and planting the suitable plants in that area, and try to prevent the cutting down of those trees.
2.
an example would be to reach out to nature-protecting organizations (i dont know any) and bring them together to form a group where everyone goes to "disturbed" areas near them and start planting trees (for individuals, make sure its not illegal to do so) and go back there everyday to water it. after planting the tree place a persuasive poster to persuade tree cutters (for paper) to not cut down the tree using any method.
3. + 4.
strengths:
it can store more carbon to slow down the rising tempatures globally

it can provide shelter to animals in the area.
limitations:
tree cutters dont care about global warming, they want money so the trees can still be cut down unless there is a figure of authority stopping them from doing so.

there are less areas to plant trees as in most "disturbed" areas it would be illegal to plant trees (making way for road and houses) so the strategy is not as effective.

(1) What is the strategy about?
My strategy is about volunteering about helping Rehabilitating Disturbed Areas.

(2) Describe an example
We can first start by hosting events encouraging the general public to volunteer in our very own shopping malls(eg.Hillion,Yew Tee Square,Yew Tee point and Northpoint city)to encourage and teach people about rehabilitating disturbed areas.

(3) Strengths of the strategy
The general public could be more interested and willing to volunteer in Rehabilitating Disturbed Areas.

(4) Limitations of the strategy
Time, Resource and Willingness of the people are the major issues in this strategy. It could cost a lot of money and the amount of time required to plan and execute this strategy may not be feasible. Some people may not even bother about this event thus wasting the money and time spent on this

yellumahanthi_venkata_jvitesh_kumar1_1 — 2023-04-22 09:11:06 UTC

1) What is the strategy about?
Ans: My strategy is about making a poster and if they donate more than $100 they will win a free IPhone 13.

2) Describe an example
Ans: I can firstly advertise its importance by sticking up many posters in famous areas of Singapore like Changi Airport, shopping centres like Paragon shopping mall and hospitals like NUH as these are frequently visited places and are famous so, more people will be aware of the importance of rehabilitating disturbed areas.

3) Strengths
Ans: Many people will be attracted to this poster as if they donate $100, they can win a free IPhone 13 thus there will be a lot of money collected thus, we can rehabilitate a greater portion of the disturbed areas.

4) Limitations
1. Many people may misunderstand it as a scam as they might think that I might have just wanted to collect free money thus, conviencing those people might be difficult.
2. People might think for themselves and do not want to waste their money.
3. We cannot rehabitate the disturbed areas anywhere and must choose an area that is not prone to any tsunami or earthquakes. If we place them in such an area, we might have to start the whole process again.

1. What is the strategy about?
we can make posters to raise funds to help rehabilitate disturbed areas or have event such as fund raisers or for community centres to host events to make people in the commuity be awear of this problem.

2. Describe an example.
the commuity centres can first place posters about the event around the neighbourhood so people are aware. the event will have mini games that are base of rehabilitate disturbed areas and have a fund raiser and the person who donates the most will get a free phone or something like that. they can also have a event where by people can sign up to help plant more trees around the neighbourhood to help educate them about this issue.

3. Strength
-It can make more people aware of the problem.
-it can help with the problem as people are donating money to help with it.

1) What is the strategy about?
My strategy is to protect the species of Snow Leopards as there are about 4,000-6,500 snow leopards left.

2) Examples of the strategy
We can raise awareness for the population of snow leopards by advertising and educating people through the news and school. The government can also enforce laws to prevent citizens and tourists from entering the habitats of snow leopards. Since these animals are hunted for their fur, bones and other body parts, the government can ban products that use these materials to be produced.

3) Strengths
- The endangered species of snow leopards might increase in population and might not be endangered anymore.
- Public awareness for endangered species will increase and their knowledge about these endangered species will be greater

4) Limitations
- Citizens and tourists might not cooperate with the new laws established
- Companies that manufacture products that use snow leopard fur, bones or body parts will lose money and might go bankrupt.
- Food or materials that can only be found in the habitats of snow leopards cannot be obtained due to new laws.

1. What is the strategy about?
My strategy is to raise awareness on how to protect the environment.

2. Describe an example
I can make poster to put around the neighborhood to raise awareness. When people go back to their house, they will walk pass these posters and might read them thus reminding then to protect the environment.

3. Many people will go out everyday so putting a poster at their neighborhood helps to remind much more people to protect the environment.

4. Limitations of the strategy.
I only can make a few poster due to the amount of money I can spend.
I need to ask someone of higher level if I can put up the poster around the neighborhood.

Chen Ning

ning_ning3 — 2023-04-24 03:17:23 UTC

1) What is my strategy about?
-My strategies is to let people be more aware of disturbed areas and how they can help to rehabilitate it.

2) Describe an example.
-I can put awareness online eg. Instagram. We can have talks in school to ensure that younger generation are aware. We can also have posters made. We can also hold activities for people to volunteer/ try out and hence they can understand more about how to rehabilitate disturbed areas and be more interested

3) Strength
-Many kids are surrounded by phones and online stuff this days hence it will be very easy for them to access/see the news. Also by having talks in schools, we can also spread awareness to the teachers/uncles and aunties working there. If we hold activities outside, people might be interested and want to help more.

4) Limitations
-Some people might skip the post, not willing to do the activities as they might be fun and they wont get anything from it/might not have time. Do we have enough money to fund for the activities?

1. What is the strategy about?
- Start raising awareness, take action and protect the area we want to rehabilitate by emphasizing what would happen if we do not rehabilitate disturbed areas.
- Posting on social media platforms and put up posters and advertisements based on the negative impacts of not rehabilitating disturbed areas and the advantages of rehabilitating disturbed areas.
- Understand the local environment and constraints, whether the soils in the area is dispersive, saline, acidic or low in nutrients.

2. Describe an example
- For example, studies have shown that mangroves grow best in water that is 50% freshwater and 50% seawater. If the water is not so, we can begin by making amendments to the water, amount of nutrition, etc.
- We can put up the advertisements on Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, billboards, etc. and for the posters, they can be put up in frequently visited areas like void decks, shopping malls, hawker centres, nearby community centres, bus interchanges and more.
- Posters can include that there should be a reduce in mining, and encroachment by human settlements and agriculture which may destroy protected areas.

3. Strengths of the strategy
- Help to sustain the rich diversity of plants and animals
- Increase population of plants and animals
- Amount of greenhouse gas emitted can be reduced
- Provides habitat for animals

1. What is this strategy about ?

This strategy is by making advertisments and going on tours and learning journeys for all citizens and tourists to learn and know more about the public education of singapore.

2. Describe and example
I can ask people to volunteer whether they want to help out by organising it with us and becoming a tourist, then we can go to museums of singapore and take a tour in some schools, junior colleges or polytechnics to show that singapore's education is excellent

3. Strengths of strategy
We can learn more about the different school enviroments in singapore so that the tourists and citizens can choose the school of their choice with the environment that they are comfortable with. It also lets them learn more about singapore's culture and singapore's ways of teaching to all their students

4. Limitations of the strategy
We may not have the right amount of people to be tourists or have the right amount of materials to organise this event but that is fine as im sure we will come up with a way to figure out a solution for this problem. We also may not have that many schools to explore but that is fine as we do not need that many schools. We may not have that much information or that much cooperation. We also have to make sure that the prices for the tours arent too expensive as most citizens cant afford such high prices.
