The earth has suffered in our hands for way too long - just too long. We have beaten and struck the environment that sustains us with our beautiful inventions and activities. But among all the impacts we have caused the environment, some issues stand out much more than others.
In fact, these issues are the underlying reasons for tons of other environmental problems. So by solving these major issues, you can stop the effects of some other challenges. In case you still haven't gotten the message, this article is about the major environmental issues we are facing and the ways by which we can combat them.
Loss of Biodiversity
There are different species of plants and animals for a reason. They help maintain the balance of the ecosystem. Without them, we won't have many of the biological resources needed for our survival. Unfortunately, we are seeing the results of losing some biological resources to extinction.
Some plants and animals that help keep the environment in balance have gone extinct or have been threatened; hence we are faced with instability in weather conditions and animal or plant behaviour. Some human activities that cause loss of biodiversity include pollution, the killing of these plants and animals, and habitat destruction.
Climate change is also a reason why we are losing some biospheric properties of the environment needed for our existence.
