    Assignment:
    1. Research and describe the biodiversity in your local area. How
    does it affect your community's health and well-being?
    - The local biodiversity of my area in Puerto Princesa City
    Palawan, it includes a variety of flora and fauna,
    encompassing forests, rivers, wetlands, and urban green
    spaces. Common trees include oak, maple, and pine, while
    local wildlife includes deer, foxes, rabbits, and various bird
    species like sparrows, robins, and hawks. Aquatic ecosystems
    feature fish like trout and bass.
    Impact on Community health and well-being
    • Ecosystem Services: Biodiversity provides essential services such
    as air and water purification, pollination of crops, and regulation of
    climate. Trees and plants absorb CO2, produce oxygen, and help
    moderate temperatures, contributing to better air quality and climate
    resilience.
    • Nutrition and Food Security: Biodiversity supports agriculture by
    enhancing soil fertility and pest control. A variety of plants and
    animals ensure a balanced diet, contributing to overall health.
    • Disease Regulation: Healthy ecosystems can reduce the
    prevalence of diseases by supporting a balance of predator and prey
    species, controlling populations of disease vectors like mosquitoes.
    2. What actions can you take to help protect and promote biodiversity
    in your community?
    - The action that I will take or advocate is encouraged the
    planting of native plants in gardens and public spaces to
    support local wildlife, including pollinators and birds. Establish
    community gardens, green roofs, and parks that provide
    habitats for various species. Promote organic farming and
    gardening practices to protect beneficial insects and other
    wildlife.
    3. List and describe at least three human activities that threaten
    biodiversity?
    - Urban development, deforestation, and agriculture expansion
    lead to the loss of natural habitats, displacing wildlife and
    reducing biodiversity. Air, water, and soil pollution from
    industrial activities, pesticides, and plastic waste harm
    ecosystems and the organisms that depend on them.
    4. What are some methods used to conserve biodiversity?
    Discuss at least two strategies.
    - Establishing protected areas where human activities are
    restricted helps preserve critical habitats and species. These
    areas serve as refuges for wildlife and plants, ensuring their
    survival and promoting ecological research.
    5. What are some methods used to conserve biodiversity?
    Dicuss at least two strategies.
    - Enforcing laws and regulations that protect endangered
    species and their habitats is crucia. Citizen science initiatives
    empower individuals to contribute to scientific research and
    conservation efforts. By integrating these strategies,
    communities can work towards preserving and enhancing local
    biodiversity, ensuring the health and well-being of both the
    environment and its inhabitants.

    Take your stand on the following statement:


    "Do you think that our planet can survive without human beings taking care of it"? Prepare at least five (5) arguments
    to back up your claim.

    - The planet Earth can indeed survive without human beings actively
    taking care of it. Natural processes and ecosystems have sustained
    life for billions of years, long before humans existed, and they will
    continue to do so without human intervention. While human efforts
    can mitigate some of the damage we have caused and help protect
    certain species, the planet has inherent mechanisms for sustaining
    life and maintaining ecological balance. Earth's natural processes
    and the resilience of life forms ensure that the planet can survive
    and even thrive without human intervention. This understanding
    underscores the importance of reducing our negative impact on the
    environment and allowing natural systems to function as intended.
