a) Explain the cause of the challenges in the community.
The main causes of the challenges are deforestation and unsustainable agricultural practices. Clearing the natural forest near Olak swamp destroyed the habitat of wild animals, leading them to encroach on community crops.

This pollution directly harmed fish and other aquatic life, leading to a reduced fish catch for the fishermen.
