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 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.

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes

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.
 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.
