Candidates should be able to
- Demonstrate the need for sustainable development, resource conservation and
management in different environments. It is not intended that candidates should be
familiar with a wide variety of illustrations here. Rather that by the use of well selected
case studies, possibly integrated with the study of other concepts referred to above,
candidates become familiar with general principles and can illustrate from these examples.
- Identify and describe the benefits associated with the development of agriculture,
manufacturing industries, energy production, tourism and transport. This could be
incorporated with the studies outlined above (3.1 - 3.4).
- Describe how these developments may also pose threats to the environment when
natural ecosystems are interfered with including: soil erosion, global warming, and
pollution (air, water, noise and visual).
- Identify areas at risk from these threats to the environment and describe attempts made
to maintain, conserve or improve the quality of the environment. |
