Introductory Message

For the learner:

Why do you have to be concerned on environmental issues? This is not only

because this is your only planet but because it is your moral obligation to take an
active role in preserving, promoting, and protecting your environment and its
ecosystems. By treating the environment right, you are also giving others a chance,
particularly the future generation to enjoy Earth as a safe and a healthy place to live
in, free from pollution, forest degradation and other anthropogenic activities.

This module will help you acquire the competencies, which are much needed
for you to enhance your eco-literacy and take an active role in sharing your academic
skills into community development projects like the preservation, promotion, and
protection of our environment.

This self-learning module has six interactive tasks, which are as follows:

Let’s Try This helps you to get ready to learn;

Let’s Explore This guides you towards what you need to learn;

Keep in Mind gives you the lessons that you need to learn and understand;

You Can Do It helps you apply the lessons learned in daily activities;
What I Have Learned tests and evaluates your learning; and

Share Your Thoughts and Feelings helps you express your thoughts, opinions, and
feelings about the lesson.

Make sure to read, think, follow, and enjoy every task that you are asked to do.
Have fun! Stay safe and healthy!

Introduction

The community we live in today has changed rapidly. These changes range
from industrial development, overpopulation and most critically, the natural resources
degradation. We all know that our country has a lot of natural resources, but most of

1
it are now depleting in an alarming rate, or much worse, intentionally ruined to pave
way for industrialization.

The aim of this learning module is to ignite that love for the environment
(makakalikasan), in you, as one of your core values being a Filipino. Work on the
tasks seriously and show to the community how willing you are to participate,
preserve, promote, and protect our environment and natural resources.

Protecting Our Natural Resources

We only have one planet, and we need to take care of it. But are we really
taking care of it? It is not beyond our knowledge that because of climate change,
overpopulation, biodiversity loss, and pollution, we are at the urgent threat from the
degradation or even total diminution of our natural resources. The environment is
changing immensely, and the natural resources are truly vulnerable to deterioration
and pollution. We must strive to at least reduce the depletion of our natural
resources so that our future generation can still be secured with a habitable planet.
Sadly though, as cities and provinces develop, our natural resources are also
compromised, and it doesn’t stop there. Global warming has become one of the
major problems worldwide since it affects the whole planet and slowly engulfs our
world every minute. In the Philippines, Filipinos are already feeling this effect. Low
pressure typhoons have evolved into super typhoons, and in some incidences,
tornados. Monsoon rains in recent years result to flash floods most of the time.
Temperatures rise and our heat index has increased dramatically. All these
adversely affect not only the environment, but our very health and lives as well.
Preservation of the natural environment is essential for maintaining
community sustainability. Here are various approaches and techniques used
successfully in different communities to protect and restore their natural resources.

5
 ● Water – river restoration and watershed protection.
● Energy- using energy efficient appliances, and harnessing the power of
solar energy, and wind energy.
● Air and Climate – solving the global warming problem through civic
engagement and education and getting ready for extreme weather events.
● Biodiversity – global environment and biomedicine to explore human
health consequences, biodiversity support programs, ecosystem study,
research, and outreach.
● Land, Forests, and Ecosystems – land conservation, ecosystem
protection, tree planting, forest policy and urban forestry.

You Can Do It
