There are times when dry season is very long and farmers are very much affected by it. What can the Government do to help the farmers? Explain the effect of climate and weather to one's livelihood

The Government should create an irrigation system and get the water from mountains, waterfalls and rivers for their rice plantation. For example the farmers, their crops would wither easily and the farmers wouldn't have enough time to water all of their plants. But when the Government creates the irrigation system it would be easier. As for the animals they would have less water and could die causing extinction.


What can the Filipinos do in preservation of the rare plants and animals in the country? Find out the importance of the country's vegetation and animal species.

For example, the tarsier, they are almost extinct. I think the Filipinos can build a cage for them but without a roof and because the tarsier lives in forests so they can plant some trees plants and there the tarsier could have a home and they could prevent them from being extinct. And the zookeepers can train them for shows so that the tarsier could experience some fun and when they are trained and people visit them they would not be shy and just hide in their homes. As for the plants the Government could build a greenhouse with shadles for roofs so that the plants can get sunlight but not too much sunlight and there would be a sprinkler in the middle of the plants so that every plant can get water from it.



Why should the Government consider the protection of vegetation in undertaking projects for development?

The Government should take good care of the plants because if they ruin them and they build a small town the people living there wouldn't have fresh air to breath in. And that town would be like theneedville from the lorax. The mayor just sells fresh air and doesn't want a single tree in his town.
