I LOVE JURONGLAKEPARK
Part E- conservation efforts at JLP
For aquatic:
As you see in the picture above, it shows a sign saying the most important thing,: DO NOT LITTER, best if we pick up litters we see. Litters like plastic bags might cause severe problems, leading all the way to us. If a piece of plastic bag is blown into the lake. some fishes might mistake it for some delicious food, and hence tries to gobble it down, nut by the time the fishes realises its mistake, its too late. They are suffocated to death.
there are also some subsequent signs warning that dogs should always be leashed, no feeding of fishes allowed and lastly, no fishing allowed. Dogs should always be leashed as dogs like to run around and sometimes jump into the lake to swim. Dogs jumping into the water might introduce unknown bacteria to the water. Aquatic lives that consumes this water might not be immune to it and hence, falls sick and dies, affecting the food chain and the eco-system. Secondly, feeding of fishes is not allowed as some fishes are not used to artificial food. If people continues ti feed food to the fishes this way, they would loose their ability to find food for themselves, and hence they would come to the shore and wait for the food to drop into the water and fill up their stomach.
***Lastly, the NO FISHING ALLOWED in explanation is that when you fish near the shore, you would have higher chance of falling in to the water, and lesser chance to catch a fish. :P
For land:
Many cleaning-ups can be spotted doing so everyday. This is to ensure the cleanliness of the park. Many Hi-Technology equipment are used by the workers to ease the job, and to clean larger area using lesser time, compared to original methods used-sweeping.
In our opinion, we think that the authorities are really putting efforts to keep the park clean, but many park users just do not know how to appreciate these efforts. We suggests to double the punishments so that they do not dare to break the rules again.
