Environment

The term “Environment” refers to the surrounding conditions and influences affecting the life, development, and survival of organisms, including humans. It encompasses natural elements such as air, water, soil, climate, and ecosystems, as well as human-made structures and social contexts that interact with these natural elements. The environment can be divided into various components, including the physical environment (geographical and climatic aspects), biological environment (flora, fauna, and microorganisms), and the socio-economic environment (cultural, political, and economic factors). As a field of study, environmental science examines these interactions and the impact of human activity on natural systems, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and conservation. The environment is crucial for providing resources, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining the planet’s ecological balance.
