Environment

The term “Environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, and factors that affect the life, development, and overall well-being of living organisms. This includes both biotic factors (such as plants, animals, and microorganisms) and abiotic factors (such as air, water, soil, and climate). The environment encompasses both natural elements, like ecosystems and biodiversity, and human-made aspects, such as urban development and industrial activities. It plays a crucial role in shaping the physical and biological characteristics of habitats, influencing ecological interactions and the sustainability of life. Environmental science focuses on understanding these complex interactions and addressing issues related to environmental degradation, conservation, and the impacts of human activities on the planet.
