Self-learning reflection
Wednesday, March 11, 2020
As a citizen, I need to understand my own responsibilities and role in order to preserved the nature. During the field survey in Bau, I realize that every living things in a habitat need each other in order to fulfill their needs. Therefore, as a citizen, we must help any habitat to maintain their survival by not disturbing the habitat. When visiting the Blue Lake, I realize that human activity such as mining had caused damage to the habitat where the former mining site now contain high level of arsenic due to human greed who do the mining until the mineral exposed to the surface. As a citizen, we should not harm or disturb any important habitat for our self interest. This made our city loss its charm. Besides, we should not kill the animals or do logging as it will destroy our mother nature. These animals and plants help to maintain our ecosystem.
Through this field trip, I realize that we must listen to instruction from our lecturer. Moreover, I finally learnt about bamboo and how to determine the direction of Qiblah when we are in forest. Another knowledge that I got from this field survey is about Blue Lake which is about the arsenic content in the lake and how the lake formed. It is exciting to know how the bats sleep and to see the real swiftlets and its nest with my own eye. Furthermore, I also got to know what is inside a cave as I have never been to a cave. Besides, knowing how lake and a cave were formed was really amazing for me.
This experience really help me to understand the ideas of subject I learnt. I manage to understand about forest - its type, layer and do's and don't's. Other than the forest, I understand that both biotic and abiotic factors are crucial for living things in order to continue living their lives. I also get the idea how living things can adapt to their surrounding. Lastly, I finally understand how human greed can destroy the nature if we as the human did not preserve them.
