On the other hands, if we protect our environment, we will get many good
benefits. We will keep our country clean, and then we all will have good
health. Moreover, the tourism in our country will be improved. Many
tourists will come to our country, and the government will have many
benefits from those tourists that can allow the government to develop the
country to be a developed country like other countries in the world like the
United States. Otherwise, the people who live around the tourism places will
get much money by selling things or opening a restaurant, etc. This is just a
small part. Thus, the people and the government must co-operate together to
protect our environment.
Factories Factor……………………………………………...1
Conclusion…………………………………………………..8
There are many factors that make the environment in Cambodia to be bad
everyday. One factor is called Air Pollution. These days, there are a lot of
factories where locate in many provinces and cities of Cambodia. Those
factories produce polluted gases that go into the atmosphere of the earth.
After that, it mixes with other gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.
Thus, it will become a polluted mixture gases that can cause many problems
to the people. People will have many maladies after inhaling this air
including difficulty in breath, cough, swell the lung, etc. These gases also
As we know, the trees in the forest these days are being cutting down
gradually. People don’t realize what will happen when there isn’t any tree in
Cambodia. There will be many affects, including the weather, the ozone
layers, etc. The weather in Cambodia will be changed. Like nowadays, the
weather is very hot. If the trees are being continued to cut down, we won’t
be able stay under the sun anymore, because it is too hot. Moreover, our
country will have many natural disasters such as drought, flood, and other
natural disasters. The flood can destroy the people’s houses, destroys the
crops, and it can also destroy the infrastructures in the society like the
bridges, roads, etc. The drought can affect to the cultivating of the farmers,
including the lacking of water to send into the rice-fields. Moreover, it can
cause many diseases to the people such as cholera, and other maladies which
we can’t predict. Otherwise, if there isn’t any tree along the bank of the
river, the soils will fall down into the river and make the river even
shallower. Worse than that, it makes the ozone layers even thinner and
thinner everyday, so the earth will become hotter and hotter. Then, the sun
will send ultraviolet radiation to the earth which can make the people’s skin
The wildlife and the fish are very essential resources in Cambodia. We
altogether need to depend on the wildlife meat. Otherwise, the wildlife is
important to the tourism. We can collect many kinds of animals to make a
zoo in order to interest the visitors. This makes the money to include to the
treasury of the country, and the government will have this money to develop
the country and also can build many other tourism places. On the other
hands, the standard of living of the people who live around the tourism will
become better and better. They can sell something for the visitors at the
reasonable price, so they will be able to support their families. Moreover, the
fish can also produce food to the people. All Khmer people need fish to eat,
especially the fish in the Tonle Sap Lake. Bu right now, amount of the
animals both the wildlife and the fish in Cambodia are decreasing rapidly
every year. The main factor that causes this matter is coming from the
people. People cut down the forests, and the wildlife will have nowhere live.
Soon, they will die. And the losing of fish is caused by the people also.
People cut down the inundated forest which is the main shelter and the best
place for fish to live and lay eggs. Moreover, some illegal people use illegal
equipments to fish including using the bomb to kill the fish, using the
equipment to shock the fish. Theses are the factors that cause the amount of
the wildlife and fish to be decreased.
Nowadays, many Khmer people use chemical substances to put on the fruits,
vegetables, animals and other living things because they want to keep them
fresh in the markets for a long time and want them to grow faster than usual.
Thus, they can make a lot of money to support there living standard and their
family, but they ignore one thing, the bad effects. Chemical substances can
make the food fresh, but they can make the organisms die because of
depriving of food. And the big animals that depend on them will die, too.
For instance, the worms need leaves of the tree to eat, and when people put
chemical substance on that tree, the worms won’t be able to eat those leaves
anymore. Then, they will be all dead. The birds which depend on the worms
will have no worms to eat, and then they will die, too. We people need those
animals for eating. What if all those animals die? What will we have for
eating instead of them? Moreover, they can effect on people’s health, too.
When we use these chemical substances, we can inhale them into our bodies.
Then, the chemical substances begin to influence their poison all over our
bodies and cuts down our age everyday during using these chemical
substances. And we don’t know when we will die, but sooner or later.
As far as I’m concerned, I think that we have some tactics to protect our
environment and we must implement them all together. We must make some
strict law for the illegal people who cut down the trees in the forests in order
to warn them not to do it anymore. Moreover, the government must permit
to build the factories far from the city or from the place where many people
live, or those factories must put high smoke containers from the ground. So
that will reduce the noise and the polluted gases which come from them. The
people in a village or a community must respect the right of their neighbors
like decreasing the volume of the Karaoke, television, radios, etc. The
government should advertise on the television about the environment in
Cambodia and encourage the people in the country to protect the
environment such as growing up the trees, throwing the garbage into the dust
bins, etc. Otherwise, the government should put sayings along the roads like
“Good environment brings good health”, “Throw the garbage in the dust
bins”, “Don’t litter”, etc. So, when they see those sayings, they will
understand and won’t throw the garbage everywhere anymore. The
government should put many dust bins as many as possible along the roads
and in the community in order to cut down and keep the garbage in one
place. Moreover, the government should send the people to teach the people
in the remote areas to know how important the environment is and also teach
them about the morality in order to make them understand and do the right
things. Furthermore, we should decrease the using of wood and other natural
resources in the family and try to find other energies such as using electricity
instead of using wood. So we will be able to decrease the natural resources
we are using. Besides, if anyone sees that there is a fire in the forest, that
person must call for help immediately from the authority in order to put out
the fire. Moreover, the people must report to the ministry of environment
about the chemical substances coming out from the factories which kill the
fish and lives in the rivers, lakes, and sea. Otherwise, each family must keep
the garbage in the dust bin or find a hole to keep it. On the other hands, the
government should make strict law for the illegal people who fish in the
season which the fish lay eggs or using the illegal devices to fish – for
