Task 2 on environment conservation

Image
Plants and animals species are witnessing detrimental effects owing to human activities. It is being said that nothing can be done about this; however, others believe situation can be tackled. I am of the opinion that we still have space to improve ourselves and our flora and fauna. To begin with, many people think that it is too late to do anything. Because, firstly humans have destroyed animal habitats and are using all these areas for residence. Briefly, people think that because of huge population all green jungles would be converted into concrete ones, But, I think by living in vertical homes, land can be spared for animals to survive. Secondly, industries have polluted various water sources and have also demaged the ecosystem which provided food and shelter to animals; conversely, international organisations, are working hard to protect the environment by restricting industrial dumps and they are providing artificial habitats with water and food sources for these plan...

Task 1 Table

Image
The table contains changes in worldwide population between 6 key areas from 1950 to 2000 and it also predicts the population for the year 2050. By and large, we can see that, the only region where population is expected to increase by 2050 is Africa however Europe is expected to have the greatest drop in population over the same time period, the only continent having fluctuation in percentage is Asia. It is interesting to note that Africa had a minute share of the population in 1950; conversely, forecasted to have 1/5th of the total worlds population by 2050.
