1. Students, whenever they are stressed about their studies, they can walk around the nature and improve their well being and their mental state.

2. Nature areas open up a wide range of outdoor activities. Example, NParks organises a range of activities for school during the week of international day for bio-diversity in may. These activities aim to educate youths about the imporatantce of protecting the natural environment

1. The carbon dioxide we give out is absorbed by the plants to help with photosynthesis. (garden near the library)

2. People can raise awareness on plants about the value of nature areas through encouraging positive behaviour that does not damage nature. Clean-up programmes to remove pollutants from the environment help restore natural habitats and provide a healthy environment for species to thrive.

2. The environment provides resources for us such as food or water, some examples of resources are the rivers, trees. Rifle range park provides a habitat for many types of animals to live in

1. The tree near the canteen requires humans to provide water and fertilisers to ensure the growth of the tree.

2. The NParks Citizen Science initiative, Dragonfly Watch, trains participants to identify different dragonfly species at their assigned sites. This results in greater protection of the species by raising awareness of their importance in the environment.

1. Local communities are dependant on nature, such as students coming down to the garden to destress and to breathe the fresh air by the oxygen released by plants and the cozy atmosphere of the garden.

2. Mangrove forests are essential for coastal communities in Southeast Asia. According to studies, they protect villages from storm surges and coastal erosion by acting as natural barriers. Additionally, they support fisheries by serving as nurseries for fish and shrimp, which are vital for both food and income. This shows how local communities are intricately connected to and dependent on their natural surroundings for safety and livelihood.

1. Students can take care of nature in the school by tending to the local gardens, such as watering them, trimming any excess branches, and adding fertilizer. Students also did VIA work by planting additional samplings in the school area.

2. Social initiatives such as the Keep Singapore Clean campaigns in the 1970s, the Singapore Green Plan 2030, can help raise awareness on nature conservation and by extension help affect nature positively.

1. When using the air-conditioner a lot of greenhouse gas's are produced that contribute to the enhanced global warming effect. (library)

2. When people go hiking along non-designated trails in nature areas, they may cause soil compaction which prevents rainwater from infiltrating the surface. Leading soil erosion as the soil water washes away the soil particles.

2) People do clean-up programs to remove pollutants from the environment such as beach clean ups (like what? do you have a name? where do they clean?)

1. In school at the urban farming area, students and staffs actively care for the plants by watering them daily and removing weeds. Without this regular maintenance, the plants would struggle to grow due to a lack of nutrients.

2. Forests near local communities, often rely on local people for protection and sustainable management. For instance, indigenous tribes in the Amazon forests practice sustainable agriculture.

1. pond helps make the students and teachers enjoy the view of the fish when having a break

2. The pond provides a home for the fishes to live in.

3. The plants surrounding the school provide us fresh air while we provide them with carbon dioxide.

   
   

1. Large usage of paper in school results in the need to cut down a large number of trees.

2. Humans may cause soil erosion and damage to vegetation by cutting trees in Brazil and Central African countries.

1. Schools have CCAs such as the environmental club who plant trees around in the community and encourage others who tend to natures areas and this allows nature nature to have a conducive environment

2. The waterway clean-up programme organised by the waterays Watch society creates opportunities for school to pick up trash from the Marina Reservoir

1. In school, students participate in gardening activities within the school compound for example, people from the environmental science cca. These trees provide shade, improve air quality, and create habitats for birds and insects. This shows actions by individuals can contribute to a greener environment and support local biodiversity.

2. Mangrove reforestation projects in Southeast Asia are a great example of positive human impact. According to studies, communities actively plant mangroves along coastlines to absorb carbon dioxide, and create nurseries for marine life.

1. Students might desecrate the school's vegetation by trampling the plants or urinating into them.

2. People are reliant on nature for natural resources such as coal and wood and for food. Overconsumption of these resources can result in the environment being irreparably changed and harmed from activities such as deforestation for wood like in the Amazon Forest, soil exhaustion for food, overhunting for animals which may lead to their extinction as seen via the dodo, and polluting mining practices such as open-pit mining of coal.

2. Local communities such as Nparks can collectively raise awareness about the value of nature areas through encouraging positively behaviour that does not damage nature

1. The nature next to the library allows students to understand geographical investigation, to execute it properly.

2. When walking next to greenery, it is usually cooler as the plants gives out oxygen. (Provide data to support)

1.More nature would attract more insects which would increase the chances of students getting bitten or stung.

2.Singapore continues to urbanise and developed, leading to natural habitats shrinking which will cause wildlife to venture out of the nature areas in search of food or shelter, potentially increasing the frequency of human wildlife encounters.

1. People can take the initiative to replant, take plant and tend to nature areas and keep them clean. schools have cca that takes care of the environment such as environmental club

2. Raise awareness during assemblies to educate students on protecting the natural environment. They can teach future generations the importance of nature and take care and how to value trees and plants. For example, the NPark citizens signs initiative dragonfly watch trains people to identify different types of dragon flies. This results in creating and fostering a passion for nature which leads to protection of the species and the environment

3. The waterways clean up program held by the waterways watch society gives opportunities to students in different schools to pick up trash from the marina reservoir

1: One negative impact is lack of space for housing and other amenities which will lead to humans causing deforestation

2: The tree can fall down on someone and the person may get injured or die from their injuries. (Provide actual examples with data and place names)

1. the plants depends on us for carbon dioxide to photosynthesise.

   
   

2. people take care of the gardens and plants in or outside of their homes. For example, residents take care of plants outside their corridor.

   (provide examples and data to support!)

   
   

1. People can feed the fishes in the pond (where is this in sch?)

2. people can reduce littering in the pond so that the fishes would not mistaken their trash as food and eat and die (give examples)

   
   

1. In school, students occasionally litter on school grounds, leaving plastic wrappers and bottles behind. This waste can harm nearby plants and animals, clog drains, and contribute to pollution when it washes into waterways

2. Deforestation for agriculture and urban development is a major negative impact of human activity on nature. For example, in the Amazon rainforest, large areas are cleared for cattle ranching and soybean farming, leading to habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and increased carbon emissions.

Trees give us fresh air that we need to survive.

Trees can improve livelihood of spaces that can improve our mental health and well being

Trees are also a source of food.

Prevents soil erosion and landslides

Examples

During photosynthesis, the process where Gaseous exchange occurs.

Amazon Rainforest: Improves air quality with the amount of oxygen in releases and carbon dioxide is also taken in by the plant.

2. people may cause soil compaction which prevents the rainwater from infiltrating the surface(Give place names and data)

1. Trees rely on water and food for growing. They are planted outside and watered by our school gardeners daily.

2. The plants and trees need an environment with less pollution around them. People in local communities keep places less polluted so that plants and trees can survive. ( provide actual data)

1. The garden requires constant maintenance, which can strain budgets.

2. Soil erosion can cause trees to fall on people killing lots. (Provide actual examples with place names and data)

1. trees receive carbon dioxide and photosynthesis when we take care of them, the trees in return gives us oxygen which is for us humans to breath in.

2. nature can affect people positively by, generating positive emotions such as calmness, joy and creativity which can facilitate our concentration when doing tasks, e.g. studying, work etc. (provide actual place examples, with data)

1. when teachers and students use paper we may not be using more paper than we actually need, therefore wasting earths resources. For example,Excessive paper usage in schools contributes significantly to environmental degradation by depleting natural resources and increasing waste. In the United States, a typical school consumes approximately 2,000 sheets of paper daily, amounting to over 360,000 sheets annually. Collectively, with around 100,000 schools nationwide, this equates to an estimated 32 billion sheets of paper used each year.

2. Air Pollution: Emissions from factories, vehicles, and burning fossil fuels lead to climate change, acid rain, and respiratory issues in living organisms. For example,The combustion of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), which trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. In Singapore, the annual mean temperature increased by 0.24°C per decade from 1984 to 2022, indicating a warming trend.

1. Nature can cause natural disasters such eathquakes,tsunami and active volcanos. THis risks peoples lives and endangers people living around these potential natural disasters

2. Flash floods in sigapore can cause students to be at risk while commuting to school.

2) The presence of green spaces and urban wildlife in neighbourhoods can enhance the mental health and well-being of local community

(provide actual place examples/data)

1. when it rains the floor will be slippery and wet therefore increasing the risk of slipping and falling.

2. Floods: Heavy rainfall, hurricanes, or dam failures can cause flooding, displacing communities and destroying homes.

2) Some animals may be confused or fearful when they venture into unfamiliar urban spaces, increasing their likelihood of attacks when fearful or triggered.

(provide actual place examples/data)

1. In school , we take care of many different plants , like watering them , giving them fertilizer and monitoring them.

   
   

2. reforestation to maintain the natures biodiversity such as Singapore's plan to plant 1 million trees by 2030.

1. People affect nature negatively by using air conditioning often in the school library, offices and in the classrooms which have air conditioning. However, excessively use of air conditioning will only increase global warming which creates a chain of using airc onditioning to cool ourselves down but it only gets warmer

2. People affect nature negatively by cutting down trees and the habitats of animals because of space. Because of this, habitats of animals are destroyed and they have a higher chance of being endangered.

(Provide place examples)

1. Urban farming in school helps provide students to learn about how to grow and take care of plants. The school also allows us to grow our own crops.

2. Nature provides essentials like air and water for humans to survive. It also provides spaces for recreations and leisure activities which allows people to bond with their family and friends thus maintaining human physical and mental well-being.

1, we get food and fruits from nature from the canteen in our school

2, nature provide essentials like air food and water for humans to survive . such as food people consume for breakfast lunch and dinner . Our forests, rivers , oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat , the air we breathe , the water we irrigate our crops with . like the amazon rain forest .

1. Based on observations from school we are dependent on nature for the food provided and served to us in the canteen.

2. Local communities are dependent on nature for our survival as it provides us with essentials such as air and water which are basic necessities we need. An example would be rainforests. They regulates air quality and the water cycle and the trees absorb carbon dioxide maintaining rainfall patterns vital for local communities.

1. Local communities are dependent on nature for fresh and clean air.

2. Nature gives local communities fruits such as apples, Bananas, oranges etc.

3. Local communities are reliant on nature for mental health as people feel calmer when there is nature around them. Students may feel tensed due to their studies and exams. Nature can help them feel calmer and more composed which can help them with their stress. Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects.

1. Nature affects people positively by providing oxygen to us. Nature also provides us with food and plenty of resource and also lower down temperature

2. Nature affects people positively as it can provide a sense of serenity, it can also help in healing from sickness as direct and frequent interactions with nature can bring about health and well-being benefits to people, which can help to reduce severity and occurrence of health conditions, and it provides clean air. Such as hospitals where many plants can be found.(provide place examples)

1. Noise Pollution. In schools located near construction sites, or other noisy environments, the sounds from nature, such as industrial work, can create distractions that can disrupt students during lessons.

   
   

2. Climate change. Rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, and more frequent extreme weather events are all consequences of climate change. This can lead to disruptions in agriculture and increased health risks from diseases that spread due to changing environments.

1. Instead of buying fertilisers we can just use the dead leaves that fell off the tree to provide nutrients and mineral salts to the plants.

2. Local communities can raise awareness about the value on nature areas to encourage positive behaviour that does not damage nature. For instance, Dragonfly watch, trains participants to identify different dragon flies species at their assigned sites. This results in greater protection of this species by raising awareness of their importance in the environment.

1. School educates people about the importance of plants like on earth day, people from outside school come to give talks about it.

2. Replantation, By planting trees on slopes and in vulnerable areas, forests stabilise the soil, preventing erosion and reducing the likelihood of landslides and mudslides in places like the MacRitchie Reservoir Park.

1. Trees rely on water and food for growing. They are planted outside and watered by our school gardeners daily.

2. The plants and trees need an environment with less pollution around them. People in local communities keep places less polluted so that plants and trees can survive. For instance, in late 2022, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) established a program in Singapore as a global center for innovation, partnerships and science to help scale up conservation and climate impact in the region. 

1, low temperatures help allow students to feel cooler during school days . thus allowing us to be more focus as we wont be irritated or annoyed by the heat .

2, nature areas benefit people by lowering temperature , removing pollinates and providing space for recreation

eg

Singapore Botanic Gardens: The dense greenery helps cool the surrounding environment.

1. Nature affects people positively by providing a green space to reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels. It can decrease anxiety and symptoms of depression.

2. Nature affects people positively as the greenery takes in carbon dioxide and lowering the temperature of the surrounding areas. (provide actual place examples)

1. in school we can plant more plants such as trees for more oxygen and shade

2. changemakers like government institutions and businesses such as NParks, but also from individuals taking small actions like cleaning trash or planting trees.

1. Nature affects people negatively by the insects and animals that are apart of the surroundings. Some people may get stung by bees in the garden

2. Nature affects people negatively as it can spread deadly vector borne diseases. Such as dengue fever which can be lethal to people. (provide actual place examples)
