Part D: Impact of Man on Jurong Lake Park

Due to littering, fishing and construction work at the park, the number of fishes have declined. As a result of littering and construction work at the park, the water became polluted, thus many fishes died. To prevent extinction of the fishes, I think that park users should not over fish and litter.If the fishes become extinct, the food chain will be affected after a long period of time. And deforestation was implemented for construction work to happen, destroying habitats for many kinds of plants and animals.As a result, many plants and animals might become extinct and the supply of oxygen is being cut down also the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere being removed is lesser. I think that the authorities should plant more trees to replace those trees being destroyed.
