Abstract

Degradation of the environment brought on by a variety of causes, including human activity, isknown as environmental degradation. Factors including deforestation, pollution, population growth, andclimate change are the causes of this deterioration. Wide-ranging effects of environmental degradationinclude biodiversity loss, air and water pollution, increased susceptibility to natural catastrophes, and harmto ecosystems, animals, and human well-being. It is essential to implement sustainable practices, lowergreenhouse gas emissions, preserve natural ecosystems, and support conservation initiatives in order tolessen these problems. In order to ensure the long-term health and survival of our planet and its people, wemust address environmental deterioration.
