context behind certain environmental issues and their implications for communities and their
lived context.

1.1.2 Discuss the implications of the above-mentioned environmental challenges. (6)

1.1.1 Three environmental issues faced by South African citizens are:
Water Scarcity: South Africa experiences periodic droughts and water shortages due to a
combination of factors, including irregular rainfall patterns, increasing demand for water, and
mismanagement of water resources. This issue affects both rural and urban communities,
impacting their access to clean water for drinking, sanitation, and agriculture.
Biodiversity Loss: South Africa is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, many of
which are unique to the region. However, habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, and
illegal wildlife trade pose significant threats to the country's biodiversity. Loss of biodiversity can
disrupt ecosystems, affecting food chains, ecological balance, and traditional cultural practices
tied to natural resources.
