03. Question 3

Our Answer: ) I think if we could go back years this is what we would do differently • Stop cutting down trees because by doing that we won’t have rainfall and water for domestic use at home • We keep small stock of animals/livestock in one place to avoid OVERGRAZING that degrade of natural vegetation • Then we will also stop mining activities the severely damages the natural environment we have which leads to DESERT. • The past gives us lot important information that is it’s BAD to cut down forest because by doing that we can’t have drinking water and water for domestic use in the future. But it is also BAD to keep large number of livestock in one place because this leads to loss of vegetation cover. The past also tell us that by doing that we might experience FOOD INSECURITY.
