Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation refers to the deterioration of the environment through the depletion of natural resources, pollution, and habitat destruction. It can result from human activities, such as deforestation, industrial pollution, and over-exploitation of resources, as well as natural processes, like soil erosion or climate change. Environmental degradation can have significant consequences for ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being, highlighting the need for sustainable management practices and conservation efforts.
