Series Note: This article is part of the STEM Link Up Awards series, showcasing student submissions recognized by STEM Warriors Club and awarded a cash prize.
For their featured output, Anjel Zhayra Asiquia and Jhon Mark Frigillana chose to focus on air pollution by looking at one of the environmental issues closely connected to it: deforestation. Their video reminds viewers that forests do more than provide oxygen. They also protect biodiversity, help regulate the climate, and support the balance of ecosystems that people depend on.
Through the video, Anjel and Jhon Mark show how the loss of forests can lead to serious consequences, including higher carbon dioxide levels, climate change, habitat loss, poor water quality, flooding, and landslides. They also bring the issue closer to home by highlighting how illegal logging and land conversion continue to affect natural environments in the Philippines.
Anjel and Jhon Mark leave viewers with a practical reminder: caring for forests also means caring for the air around us. Small actions like planting trees, recycling, using less paper, and supporting forest protection efforts can help reduce the damage caused by deforestation and make communities healthier over time.
