First of all, thanks to God because given me and my friends to complete this task

just in time. Even I faced with a lot of difficulties along to complete this task, my
group still manages to complete it and I’m as group leader so glad about it.

Then thanks to my biology teacher, Pn Siti Nazura for being such good guider
for us while we doing this task. She had given us appropriate example and knowledge
in order to make us understand more about this ecological study. We take some idea
from the past year’s student’s work. She spends her time to carry out each and every
experiment related to this ecological study. She also makes sure we understand
everything she told and explanation before we begin to work on these practical
assessments.

I also appreciate the school authority for given us permission to carry out
experiment in school labs and going our quadrates and transect sampling technique in
school ground. School also provided all the apparatus and materials that we used in
this ecological study task.

We also want to thank other groups which willing to share their information
about this ecological study. They give me a lot of new ideas about the task and I us all
their information especially in transect sampling technique which required us to work
together in order to complete this ecological study folio.

Also a great thanks to my family and friend who tried their best to give their
support for me either by giving me a lot of encouragement for keep up with this task
or by supporting the financial for use to pay all the cost required to complete this
ecological study.
