The environmental issues that challenge current times today would include climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
1.Climate change
due to sudden emission of greenhouse gases like CO2 and Methane, harms ecosystems through increasing sea level, extreme weather conditions, etc.
2.Deforestation
of both key types of trees and non-key types of trees for agriculture, urban development, and logging seriously threatens biodiversity and renders it incapable of serving as carbon sinks – in lieu of taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could contribute to further warming. Air, water, and soil pollution arising from Industrial activities, vehicular transportation, and waste dumping are also of great cause of concern due to heavy health tolls on human and wildlife. One major threat that challenges any investigation in biodiversity concerns is the loss of many other plant species and animal types due to destruction of habitat, pollution, and climate changes. Biodiversity is critical in ecosystem functioning and delivery of ecosystem services like pollination, water purification, and other forms of ecosystem services.
3.Environmental conservation requires
a combined effort and commitment from the individual, community, governmental, and industrial levels. By actively pursuing ways to protect and to preserve our natural resources, we are ensuring a sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come. Though challenges are bound to come along the way, commitment, fresh ideas, and collaboration can ensure that they are overcome on the way to a healthier and more resilient future.
