INT NTRO RODU DUCT CTIO ION N TO ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
This is a term used to describe a situation in which a part of the natural environment is damaged. It can be used to refer to damage to the land, to water or the air. Environmental degradation can also mean a loss of biodiversity and a loss of natural resources in an area. The problem is that it is now occurring at a much faster rate, therefore not leaving enough time for the environment to recover
C AUSES Environmental degradation can be attributed to various human activities, as well as some natural processes p rocesses
Population
Poverty
Pollution
: Increasing population increases the needs of people and hence, more stress on natural resources. : Poverty is said to be the cause of degradation because the poor, who rely on natural n atural resources more than the rich, deplete natural resources faster.
: Pollution is also an important factor in causingenviro causingenvironmenta nmentall degradation. degradation. Deforestation: Deforestat eforestation ion decreases decreases the the number number of of trees on earth and as a result the polluted air in our environment increases.
IMPACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
Global warming : This is the continued buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Global warming leads to the rise in seawater level and to soil erosion, flooding and drought.
Ozone layer depletion : Depletion of ozone layer allows the ultra-violet rays to reach to earth·s surface which results in most of the skin diseases in humans and the low productivity in agriculture.
Soil Erosion : It is a quite slower process and takes years to be noticed. It reduces the quality of soil and hence, lower lo wer productivity.
Loss of biodiversity: Wild habitats all over the world are fast disappearing. Forests are being cut down, rivers and seas polluted. As the habitats decrease, so do their communities of animals and plants. Habitat destruction is one of the main reasons why wh y man many sp spec ecie iess face face ex exti tin nctio ction. n.
PREVENTION
Aforestation : Trees clean the air and keep the atmo atmosp sphe here re cool cool.. Trees absorb sunlight and reduce the heat. Plants provide fodder for animals, firewood, timber, medicines, honey, wax, gum, lac and food for us.
Reduce Waste : Waste reduction is the process and the policy of reducing the amount of waste produced by a person or a society.Wast ste e minim inimis isat atio ion n inv involv olves effo effort rtss to minimise resource and energy use during manufacture.

Recycle : Stop wasting and you are sure to prevent your environment from the damage. It is one of the easiest ways to protect environment.

Public
Awareness : People should be made aware about what is happening around them. They should be told about the dangers of polluted environment. They should also be told how to save our environment. Television and internet media is the best tool for doing this.
