Environment

The term "environment" refers to the surrounding conditions and influences that affect the development and behaviour of living organisms and the natural world. It encompasses various elements, including air, water, land, plants, animals, and ecosystems, as well as the impacts of human activities such as pollution, urbanisation, and resource exploitation. The environment is crucial for sustaining life, providing essential resources, and maintaining ecological balance. It also includes the social, economic, and cultural contexts in which individuals and communities exist, influencing their lifestyle and wellbeing. The protection and preservation of the environment have become significant concerns globally, highlighting the need for sustainable practices to ensure that natural systems can thrive for future generations.
