2. Work in pairs. Choose a way to protect local biodiversity from the list in Task 1, and tell your partner about it
PRACTICE
Why is it important? How will it help protect local biodiversity? What can you do to help?
Example:
Plants play an important role in ecosystems. They provide food and shelter for many animal species. Each plant supports the ecosystem and biodiversity of the local area. We can help by researching the local flora, and planting more native plants.

PRACTICE
I would choose banning the hunting of wild animals as a way to protect local biodiversity. Why is it important? Hunting wild animals can lead to the depletion of certain animal populations, which can disrupt the natural balance of an ecosystem. This can have a cascading effect on other species that depend on the hunted animal for food or other resources. In addition, illegal hunting and poaching can be a major threat to endangered species. How will it help protect local biodiversity? Banning the hunting of wild animals will help protect local biodiversity by allowing animal populations to recover and thrive. This can help maintain a healthy balance within the ecosystem, which can benefit other species that depend on the hunted animal for food or other resources. It can also help protect endangered species from being hunted or poached. What can you do to help? We can help protect local biodiversity by supporting laws and regulations that ban the hunting of wild animals. We can also spread awareness about the importance of protecting local biodiversity and the negative effects of hunting on ecosystems. Additionally, we can choose to not engage in hunting or consuming products made from wild animals.

3. Work in groups. Your class is on a field trip to a national park. Read the situations below and think of some possible responses. Provide reasons for each answer
PRACTICE
1. Some of your classmates want to collect some rare insects/ flowers for their collection. 2. Some classmates have brought some snacks and want to feed the wild animals in the park. 3. You see some classmates throwing rubbish, such as plastic bottles, paper, and cans, on the grass and in the water. 4. Some classmates want to collect wood to build a fire in the park.

PRACTICE
1. Some of your classmates want to collect some rare insects/ flowers for their collection.
You shouldn't do that for several reasons. First, rare plant and animal species are endangered. Second, if people start killing or collecting them, they will soon disappear. Finally, this will harm local biodiversity and have a serious effect on the balance of the local ecosystem.

PRACTICE
2. Some classmates have brought some snacks and want to feed the wild animals in the park.
Feeding wild animals in the park is not a good idea because it can disrupt their natural diet and behavior. It can also make them dependent on human food, which can lead to health problems and aggressive behavior. Additionally, it can attract more animals to the area than the ecosystem can support, causing overcrowding and competition for resources.

PRACTICE
3. You see some classmates throwing rubbish, such as plastic bottles, paper, and cans, on the grass and in the water.
Throwing rubbish in the park is harmful to the environment and the wildlife. It can pollute the water and soil, harm the local plants and animals, and ruin the natural beauty of the park. It is important to dispose of the waste properly by using designated bins or taking it with us when we leave the park.

PRACTICE
4. Some classmates want to collect wood to build a fire in the park.
Collecting wood to build a fire is not allowed in the park because it can damage the local ecosystem and the wildlife habitat. It can also cause a fire hazard and threaten the safety of everyone in the park. We should respect the park rules and use designated fire pits if available or bring our own portable stove for cooking.
