Fragile Environment

What is fragile environment?

Fragile Environment is an environment that is easily destroyed and it will be difficult to fix it. For example a wine glass, if you throw it or drop it it will fall into pieces. When it fall into pieces, there is only a small chance for you to fix it. That thing could also happen with our environment, such as ant. If you just squeeze an ant it will die directly. Also l

eaves if you pick just one leave it will affect its life. Those are the two examples of a fragile environment. 

Sumatra Forest

Sumatra’s forest is one of the fragile environment. Lots of logging happen in this forest and people keep burning the plants. Burning plants and logging  affects the habitat of some endangered animals, such as Sumatran rhinoceros, tiger, the Asian elephant,the Sumatran orangutan and the Sumatran rabbit.

Burning the plants will also affects people living in that area. It affects the people because of the smoke that is covering the area and because of that the health of many people is in danger. Besides that burning also changes the climate.

Logging affects the global warming, because of logging the CO2 will reduce. Day by day at least one person will give birth and people will need houses. So, they have to cut down trees even though they know that what they are doing is illegal.

In Sumatra Forest there lived animals with different kind of species. There are 3 most endangered animals living in this forest. The animals are Sumatran rhinoceros, Sumatran tiger and Asian elephant. Most of the hunters hunt tigers. They hunt tigers to make products with tiger’s bones and the other part of the tiger. China is the largest producer.

So, start to save our environment.

Waterfall

Hi everyone, do you know where did grade 5 go for their field trip? Have you ever been to a waterfall before? Do you realize how beautiful is your environment? Well, keep reading this article to find out where did grade 5 go for their field trip.

On the 13th of May grade 5 went to the waterfall in Mount Pancar. This will be grade 5's last field trip. First of all we go by the bus to Mount Pancar and then we have to walk through the rocky roads to be at the waterfall. Some people help us to walk. It was really hard for some of us because we never hike before. The road was very rocky, full of trees and holes that make our walk even harder. The road is also very small and mud was everywhere. The mud makes the road became very slippery. We were very tired and some of us started complaining. The sun was very bright that day. So, lucky for us. Finally we made to the waterfall. We all shouted "EUREKA!" means we found it. Then, we started taking of our shoes and ran of to the waterfall. SPLASH! as we jump in. We all have fun together. We started taking pictures and the teachers was only standing up waiting for us to finish playing with the water. We may not get near the water that had just went down because we might get hurt. We have about 10 minutes to play with the water because we have another 4 kilometers to pass. We all change our clothes and start eating in a place that is called "lesehan" its in Indonesian. After we eat we started our LONG walk. Me, Michelle T and Mrs Jane walk very slowly because we started to enjoy the environment. This time we walk through the other path because we want to experience other things. This road is better than the one before. Its bigger and the road were not really rocky. 

When we finally made it to the bus, we started cheering. There is another problem. The problem is that the air conditioner doesn't work, but its ok at least we don't have to walk to the school. 

So, that is grade 5 field trip to Mount Pancar. Are you interested of going to Mount Pancar? If you are directly order a ticket to Indonesia.
