Global problems
Danger for
the environment
Sustainable development of the planet
A document OSN, which elaborates principles of permanently sustainable development in a global
criterion into the particular problematic areas, is called Agenda 21. It was accepted in 1992 by
members of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), which took
place in a Brazilian Rio de Janeiro and which is called a Summit of the Earth, because there met ten
thousand delegates from 178 countries. The representatives of the countries met there to solve a
crucial question of further development on our planet. They held talks not only about environment
but also about a life quality and a future development in a global criterion. It was pronounced that
global problems, which we have to face, are big enough for each country to deal with them alone. Only
an international cooperation is the necessary way to employ principles of sustainable development.
An admission of several important documents was the result of the meeting of the participated
countries (A declaration of environment and development, A general contract of climate changes, A
convention of biological diversity, Agenda 21).

Worldwide problems ...

Global problems of a human race aren`t related to a particular country or a continent, but they
are worldwide and their solution is important for the whole humankind. There are a lot of global
problems and they are mutually connected. If you dind`t remember the basic global problems on our
planet in the first task, you can try to fill them here according to the pictures. There are depicted
the most famous worldwide problems of danger for the environment. Your task is to fill the name of
the problem according to the picture to the numbers on the spotted lines. At first look at the picture
carefully and then write what it is about.

Populations are growing...
A game: Travelling in time
We will easily try to depict a gradual increase of a human population on the Earth during
particular time periods. Your teacher will tell you the rules of the game.
(Rezekvítek: Globální problémy lidstva)
The increase of a human population
At the beginning of the 21st century there live about 6,5 mld people on the Earth. The number
increases each year about 100 milion. The number of people is growing still very fast, although the
tempo of the increase is slightly decreasing. The population increase isn`t the same in all part of
the world, the biggest increase is maily in developing countries. The quick increase of a world
population together with the rising raw materials and energy comsumption is the second most
important problem of contemporary civilization and the second most important cause of the
environment worsening. The most important precondition to stop the population increase is the
improvement of conditions for inhabitants of poor areas in the world.

2. What is the global warming of the Eatrh?
Try to play and get acquainted with the Earth warming. Your teacher will tell you the procedure of the
game during your lesson. At the end of the game you can discuss with your classmates and try to find
the possibilities for solving the problem. How can you limit your part in a global warming?

A.It is becoming thinner...
An ozone layer which is in the height of 18 20km, in the top level of the atmosphere, is heavily
endangered and it is becoming thinner. The ozone is decreasing as it is destroyed by some substances
and that`s why we speak about an ozone hole. In the following exercise try to guess the size of an
ozone hole according to the year. There are 8 pictures below the task with a different size of an
ozone hole and in the right part of the worksheet there are 8 years. Look at the pictures carefully
and then match them with a correct year which you write to the box below each picture.

Danger for species and their diversity
A climate and a natural surroundings are mutually connected. We can`t enumerate all climates in the
world, but we can classify them in several types (e.g. equatorial, tropical, mild etc.). There exist a large
spectrum of animal species which live in various surroundings. Can you classify them? Below the taks
there is a map with continents with types of climate which differ in colour. Below the map there are
pictures of particular animal species. Look at the pictures and match the animal to the empty circle on
the map. Some of the animals can occur in more than one place.

One of the most common characterisrtics of plants and animals species is their species` richness,
we can also call it a species` diversity (a variety) or a BIODIVERSITY. A biodiversity means a
variability of all living organisms in terrestrial, sea and other water ecosystems and ecological
complexes in which they live. It includes a variety within species, among species and among
ecosystems.
(Linhart Josef, 2004: Ochrana pøírody, uèební materiály FLE ÈZU v Praze)
Nowadays just the variety is heavily endangered, the number of species decreases very fast.
Despite the species` dying out is a natural effect, the main cause of today extent and speed of
dying is a human activity. It is mainly a mass killing, bringing foreign kinds of organisms (they replace
the home species) and destruction of a natural environment. Estimates of some experts say that
each year 27000 species die out. The richest areas belong to the most endangered ones tropical
rain forests and coral reefs.
(Bittmanová, Kulich, 2008: Co si pamatuje (nejen)

3. Fieldwork: What is biological diversity?
In this game you will learn to classify some products of nature. You will find out that even on the small
piece of land you can find a large spectrum of organisms and you will see a lot of relationships among
them.
Aids: a piece of land (a meadow, a field), a field guide for invertebrate animals classification or atlas
of animals, atlas of plants, a sheet of paper for notes, writing implements
You teacher will tell you the procedure of the game.

And what about protection?
International conventions
To ensure the species and environment protection well, the international cooperation should work
effectively. Therefore in certain periods were signed conventions which protect chosen plants and
animals species and the environment. Just the conventions are topics for the following task. Try to
match the name of a convention (or proceedings), which is placed in the right part of the worksheet, to
the correct statement in the left column (the idea of the convention). It will do if you match the pair
with a line. To get the information you can use the internet.

2. HOP TO THE SACK
KVP 9/11
Aj
If you do trade with animals, you should know that they are protected by a convention CITES. Just these animals
are often smuggled illegally across borders. A lot of them die during the transport because they are hidden on
the unsuitable places. Do you know which animals are protected bz the convention and belong to the “smuggling
sack”? In the lower part of the worksheet there are pictures with species. Some of them are protected by the
convention. Your task is to choose the animals, cut them and glue them to the sack. Before you glue them, consult
it with your teacher.

CITES - Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
(Washington convention)
The convention was signed in 1973 in Washington, it came into force in 1975 and 173 countries are
members of it. The Czech republic joined the convention in 1992. It monitors the trade with 30 000
plants and animals species. It`s target is to ensure lest the international trade with animals and
plants endangeres their further existence. It is sad to know that the trade will stop only if
customers and salesmen realize that they endanger all fauna and flora of our planet.
Trading with protected exotic animals is in all cases forbidden without exceptions. We should buy an
exotic animal legally and think about it only if we are able to provide the animal conditions, which are
similar to it`s natural environment.
If a smuggler is detained with a living or a mounted animal which sale is prohibited, he is facing to a
lot of punishments. The smallest penalty can be up to 30 000 Euro, further it can be a criminal
prosecution, finally an arrest if there is found a bigger amount of animals.
Trading with fur is very often and lucrative. Milion of animals all over the world are victims of such a
trade every year. It`s excessive production causes dying of some endangered species. To make a fur
coat 3-5 wolves die, 10-24 foxes, 20-30 otters, 35-65 minks or 180-240 stoats, which are very
tragical numbers. To eliminate the trade with fur and other products is very difficult because it
brings hundreds milion Euro every year.
