Mini Report
Urban Rewilding and Biodiversity is a program organized by the International Association of Students in Economics and Business (AIESEC). It was held on 12 August 2022 with a time duration of about 2 hours, from 3 pm to 5 pm. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the program was being conducted online through a virtual platform of Zoom and all of the participants are welcome to join in a Telegram group for more information and details about the program. The speaker of this program is Ms. Rina Omar and the lesson of the program is about understanding biodiversity with conserving the environment.
There are several graduate attributes that can be found in this program. For instance, the graduate attributes of communication skills, thinking skills and global citizenship. Communication skills can be found in this activity as I was given the opportunity to ask any questions related in the webinar. Apart from that, this webinar enables me to develop my thinking skills as well. This is due to the fact that it is highly related with the topic and issues regarding environment and biodiversity which force me to think and find solutions to the problems to solve them. Besides, global citizenship is also available while participating in this program. From the webinar, I realized that we, as a citizen, have to open our minds and broaden our vision to stress on and focus more on conserving our environment for better future life.
The achievement that I can obtain from this program, urban rewilding and biodiversity, is I can know about the current situation and problems faced and suffered by our planet. It is a great opportunity for me to learn more which is not being taught during the class and we, as a student, should also play an important role in protecting the environment from being destroyed and damaged.
Reflection
In my point of view, this webinar has brought ample benefits to me. It is enjoyable and interesting to join the program. It can also develop my graduate attributes of communication skills, thinking skills as well as global citizenship as I have mentioned before. Before that, I would think that conserving our environment is definitely essential but I would not prioritize it and think of it to be the main focus in daily life. However, I was being told that our planet is suffering severe biodiversity loss, may it be caused by human disturbance or climate change, this has indeed affected all of us, even in our future life. These issues encourage me to think more and find out any factors and effects that may cause the rise of these problems.
By doing so, I can actually cultivate my problem solving skills to analyze the problems and find the solutions for each of them. The problem solving technique is one of the advantages that I have obtained through the webinar. Moreover, I will frequently ask myself why we should and we have to do anything which can protect our environment from harm. It is important to know the aims and objectives in doing anything to make our goals clear and aids in encouraging us to do it continuously and confidently until we achieve success.
It is undeniable that there will always be challenges when it comes to solving any problems faced in our daily life, in this case related to the environment, rewilding and biodiversity. However, it is believed that all of the challenges can be overcome perfectly if we are persistent in working hard and striving hard to achieve our goals. It is vital to practice the habits of protecting our environment at a very young age. Rewilding is a good way to solve the human-created environmental problem with the trend of urbanization. It has to involve a lot of authorities to maintain a good biodiversity successfully.
