Environmental Protection Flashcards
It is the activity of protecting the natural environment against groups, individuals, or governments.
Solving problems that come up when people interact with the environment.
Such as: Pollution, Conservation, Biodiversity lost, and Land degradation
Environmental Protection
It is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water, and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be deleterious or undesirable.
Environmental Degradation
What are the 3 types of Environmental Degradation?
- Soil degradation
- Water degradation
- Air degradation
What are the (4) Causes of Environmental Degradation?
- Overpopulation
- Deforestation
- Pollution
- Landfills
It is One of the Causes of Environmental Degradation that depletes wildlife to dangerously low levels as it leads to increased consumption of resources resulting in greater greenhouse gas emissions. This contributes to climate change and can have a devastating effect on the environment.
OVERPOPULATION
It is One of the Causes of Environmental Degradation when trees are cut down to make room for more houses and businesses. Rapid population growth and the spread of cities are two of the main reasons why this happens.
DEFORESTATION
It is One of the Causes of Environmental Degradation where the ecosystem suffers damage from all harmful substance or contaminants in the air, water, and Land as well as those that generate noise.
POLLUTION
It is One of the Causes of Environmental Degradation as it can cause air pollution by emitting dust and gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and etc.
It is a designated site where waste is disposed of by burying it in the ground. It is typically used for solid waste management and is engineered to contain and isolate waste from the surrounding environment.
LANDFILLS
What are the consequences of Environmental Degradation?
- Impact on Human Health
- Loss of Biodiversity
- Ozone Layer Depletion
- Loss for the Tourism Industry
- Economic Impact
What are the Ways you can help to conserve and protect the environment?
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle
- Volunteer
- Educate
- Conserve water and electricity
