ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
Wildlife conservation
-
Solutions: conservation of forests, safeguarding animals and plants species; sustainable land-use practices
Causes: human activities, deforestation, loss of natural habitats, diseases.
-
Global warming
Results: rising temperatures of the oceans and the Earth's surface causing the melting of polar ice caps, rise in sea levels, desertification, flash floods;
Solutions: use of renewable energies, energy and water efficiency; responsible consumption and recycling, sustainable practices
-
Overpopulation
Causes: increase in survival rates; increased availability in life-saving medicines and vaccines; greater access to nutritious food
Results: further straining of scarce resources; damage to the environment due to intensive agriculture practices
-
-
Deforestation
Causes: farming, intense agriculture, pollution, forest fires
Results: destruction of habitats, loss of biodiversity, climate changes, extinction of animals and plants, soil erosion
Solutions: reforestation, sustainable land use, increase in consumer awareness and responsible choices
Air Pollution
Causes: emissions from vehicles, industry and power plants, methane and other gases from landfill and animal agricuture; burning of fossil fuels
Results: serious health consequences, diseases among animals; damage to the environment; ozone layer depletion
-
Water Pollution
Causes: human sewage, improperly disposed of toxic waste, oil spills, sediment from soil erosion
Results: damage to the environment, animals die, scarce amount of drinking water, health problems
Solutions: wastewater treatment, plastic waste reduction, use of septic tanks, green agriculture, denitrification
Ozone Layer Depletion
Causes: release of chemical compounds and ozone depleting substances, some natural processes
-
Solutions: change your habits, minimize the use of vehicles, use eco-friendly cleaning products
Climate Change
Causes: human practices, emission of greenhouse gases
Results: rising temperatures of oceans and the earth's surface, natural disasters, rising sea levels, desertification, occurrence of new diseases
Solutions: reduce greenhouse gases emissions, protect forests and oceans, reduce consumption, improve farming, invest in renewable energy
