Environmental Degradation
ConceptAbout
Environmental degradation refers to the deterioration of the environment through the depletion of natural resources, destruction of ecosystems, and pollution. It encompasses changes or disturbances that are perceived as harmful or undesirable, impacting air, water, soil, and living organisms. Factors contributing to environmental degradation include human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, deforestation, and overpopulation, as well as natural events like floods and droughts. Globalization plays a role in environmental degradation by increasing trade and economic activities, leading to higher emissions and habitat destruction. This has resulted in increased pollution, climate change, and loss of biodiversity. Efforts to address environmental degradation focus on sustainable practices, environmental protection, and resource management. Addressing these issues requires a collaborative approach to mitigate the negative impacts on ecosystems and human health.
