Environmental Impact

Introduction

Human activities have significant effects on the environment, impacting ecosystems, biodiversity, and the planet's climate. Understanding these impacts is crucial in our efforts to promote sustainability and develop practices that mitigate negative effects.

Effects of Human Activities

Three primary human activities contribute to environmental impact:

  • Deforestation: Leads to habitat loss and contributes to climate change.
  • Pollution: Affects air, water, and soil quality, harming wildlife and human health.
  • Urbanization: Expands cities, leading to habitat fragmentation and resource depletion.
