Exercise 2a.
ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL TIAS, CAVITES NATURAL RESOURCES

I. OBJECTIVES

At the end of this exercise, the students should be able to:

1. identify ten (10) significant natural resources present within their municipality;
2. categorize each resource into classifications on the basis of: origin, stage of
development, renewability, distribution, and ownership;
3. assess the benefits that can be provided by each benefit;
4. identify threats that are currently being faced by each resource; and
5. propose solutions to identified threats.

II. METHODS

1. Identify the municipality where you are currently residing.

2. Identify ten (10) significant natural resources that are present within the municipality.
3. Categorize each identified resource into different classifications on the basis of: (a) origin,
(b) stage of development, (c) renewability, (d) distribution, and (e) ownership (Table
2a.1).
4. Identify the benefits that can be obtained from each resource. List them on Table 2a.2.
5. Identify threats that are currently being faced by each resource and propose a solution
that can be done to eliminate or minimize the threats. List down the answers on Table
2a.3.
6. Discuss your findings and make conclusions regarding the selected natural resources
present in your municipality.

Natural resources have plenty of benefits to human population. It provides us what we need in
our daily living and makes our life easier without the natural resource we will not be able to survive or
live. So we must give importance to every resources we get from our environment.

 We must also pay attention to the threats that our natural resources are facing, because this
natural resources gave us the services we need and our daily need. If we do not solve the threats it
may result to the destruction of a specific resources and eventually it may affect directly the people.

IV. CONCLUSION
I therefore conclude that the municipality of General Trias has plenty of natural resources like, water,
air forest, food, shelter and many more. This natural resources are essential to the community because
this provides us the thing we need in our life. Each resource gave us benefits that are very helpful to
everyone like for the health, financial stability, providing food, medicine, and water, and even peace. But
this natural resources are not safe to the threats that the human population is giving. Like the conversion
of forest and farm to subdivision, polluting the rivers and many more so we must give solution to each
threats our natural resources are facing because if this natural resources vanished, we may be affected
direct.
