       4.5.3    Why do you think the use of the resource as observed (seen) on the
                photo can be seen as resource depletion rather than resource
                exploitation?                                               (1 × 2)          (2)

       4.5.4    Discuss the impact that this non-sustainable use of the resource will
                have on the environment.                                      (2 × 2)        (4)

       4.5.5    How can the resource in the photo help the local community with
                economic development?                                    (2 × 2)             (4)
