[9] ENDANGERED

ECOSYSTEM
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, I would like to introduce myself. I am

Iffa Afiqah Bt Rejmi from Form 4 Science 1 and I am glad
indeed to be studying biology which is the most intriguing
subject ever.

I, now, have completed a paperwork or a folio on the topic

“Endangered Ecosystem” based on the last chapter in the Form 4
Biology syllabus. I have gone through many laughs and sobs
throughout the progression in completing this folio.
Nevertheless, I felt relief and grateful of having such wonderful
companions whom are my lovely Biology teacher, herself, Cik
Ainul Husna, my parents, my helpful friends and my siblings.

I would like to thank the mentioned people whom have been

very supportive and helpful in giving me extra information, tips
and ideas to make this work a satisfying piece.

Last but not least, thank you once again for all the
commitments and supports. May all of you live in a blissful life.

ECOSYSTEM

The world’s population might reach to 10 billion in

the next fifty years. Hence, when there are
increments in the number of the world’s population,
it generally means that there is an increasing demand
for shelter, food, medicine, transport and raw
materials.
Today, due to expectation of modern living and
industrial revolution, the world has to confront the
destruction of forests to build more houses, to being
use as plantation areas and to build roads; just to
fulfill humans’ needs
.
Unplanned developments and mismanagement of
ecosystem give rise to vast amounts of
environmental crisis. Among those environmental
problems are greenhouse effect, global warming,
pollution, soil erosion, landslide, flashflood and
ozone depletion.
The human activities that we are talking about are
like deforestation,burning of fossil fuel,increase in
domestic and industrial waste,overuse of
fertilizer.
DEFORESTATION
Large areas of forests are cleared for extracting timber or fuel
wood, agriculture needs, and for the sake of urbanisation. The
impacts are enormous and outrageous. Let see what are the
drawbacks of deforestation
