1:-ENVIRONMENTAL AWARNESS
• Environmentalism is an ideology that evokes the necessity and
responsibility of humans to respect, protect, and preserve the natural
world from its anthropogenic (caused by humans) afflictions.
• Environmental awareness is an integral part of the movement’s
success. By spreading awareness to others that the physical
environment is fragile and indispensable, we can begin fixing the
issues that threaten it.
• Before you can begin promoting environmental awareness in your
community, you must first make sure that you have a thorough
understanding of environmental issues. Stay up to date on
environmental news, read books and other materials, and learn
about the issues affecting your own community
• Environmental awareness in schools is crucial because it not
only enhances students appreciation for our earth, but also
promotes healthy inspires future leaders, and improves the
school environment. Our environment is not only essential
for our survival but also home to a variety of animal and plant
species. Due to human activity, many species are at risk of
extinction, and this loss of biodiversity can have a serious
negative impact on ecosystems. Environmental awareness
involves understanding and appreciating the natural world
and the challenges we face in protecting it. It focuses on
learning how all living things are interconnected and the need
to preserve the planet for the next generations. A deep
understanding of the environment can help people minimize
their personal environmental impact.
Environmental Ecology
• Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms,
including humans, and their physical environment; it seeks to
understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the
world around them. Ecology also provides information about the
benefits of ecosystems and how we can use Earth’s resources in ways
that leave the environment healthy for future generations. Ecologists
study these relationships among organisms and habitats of many
different sizes, ranging from the study of microscopic bacteria growing
in a fish tank, to the complex interactions between the thousands of
plant, animal, and other communities found in a desert.
• Ecologists also study many kinds of environments. For example,
ecologists may study microbes living in the soil under your feet or
animals and plants in a rain forest or the ocean.
• Ecologists have discovered that marshes and wetlands filter toxins and other
impurities from water. Communities can reap the benefit of this ecological service.
Leaving some of these filtering ecosystems intact can reduce the burden on water
treatment plants that have been built to perform the same service. By using natural
filtering systems, we have the option to build fewer new treatment plants. Some non-
native species (plants, animals, microbes, and fungi not originally from a given area)
threaten our forests, croplands, lakes, and other ecosystems. Introduced species,
such as the kudzu vine shown here, do this by competing with plants and animals
that were originally there, often damaging the environment in the process. For
example, the gypsy moth, a native of Europe and Asia, wreaks havoc on great swaths
of forest lands by defoliating, or eating the leaves off of trees. At first, highly toxic
chemicals, which also poisoned other animals, were the only methods available to
control this introduced pest. By targeting vulnerable stages in the moths’ life cycle,
ecologists devised less toxic approaches to control their numbers.
Biodiversity
• The Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) of the United
Nations gives a formal definition of biodiversity in its Article
2: "Biological diversity means the variability among living
organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial,
marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological
complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity
within species, between species and of ecosystems."
• Biodiversity is also defined as the existence of variability
among living organisms on the earth, including the variability
within and between species, and within and between
ecosystems.
• The importance of biodiversity is second to none. It boosts the ecosystem of
productivity where each species, irrespective of their size, have an important role to
play. Greater diversity in species ensure natural sustainability for all life forms.
Hence, there is a need to preserve the diversity in life on the earth.
• According to the UN sources at least 40 percent of the world’s economy and 80
percent of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. In addition,
the richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries,
economic development, and adaptive response to such new challenges as climate
change.
• Environmental services from species and smooth running cycles of ecosystems are
necessary at global, regional, and local levels.
• Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the water cycles, production of oxygen,
reduction in carbon dioxide, protecting the soil, etc. It is also essential for preserving
ecological processes, such as soil formation, circulation of and cleansing of air and
water, global life support, fixing and recycling of nutrients, maintaining hydrological
balance within ecosystems, maintaining rivers and streams throughout the year, etc.
Environmental Ethics
• Environmental ethics is a field of study that seeks to
understand humans’ moral obligations to protect and
preserve the environment. It is a branch of ethics that
recognizes the intrinsic value of nature, the
interconnectedness of all living things, and the
responsibility of humans to act in accordance with
ethical principles. This article will explore the types of
environmental ethics, the principles of environmental
ethics, and some examples. It will also discuss the
impact of environmental ethics on business decisions,
the challenges of implementing environmental ethics,
and the benefits of incorporating environmental ethics
into business operations. Finally, we will discuss
environmental ethics services.
• Environmental ethics is a branch of ethical thought that focuses on the
relationship between humans and their natural environment. It is a holistic
approach to understanding and evaluating our moral obligations to protect
and preserve the environment. Environmental ethics seeks to bring
together the interests of both humans and the environment, that both are
interdependent and have intrinsic value.
A variety of ethical theories, including consequentialism, utilitarianism, and
virtue ethics, define environmental ethics. These ethical theories provide a
framework for understanding the moral obligations we have to the
environment and how we should act to protect it. Environmental ethics also
draws upon the fields of philosophy, economics, ecology, and law,
providing a comprehensive approach to understanding and evaluating the
moral implications of human actions. Environmental ethics is essential for
protecting the environment, species, and resources.
• It promotes sustainable practices and encourages people to become more
aware of the impact their actions have on the environment.
Environmental Protection
 Environmental Protection
• Environmental protection focuses on solving problems arising from the
interaction between humans and environmental systems and includes issues
related to conservation, pollution, loss of biodiversity, land degradation or
environmental policy.
• The key aim of environmental protection is to prevent the degradation of the
natural environment which is affected by increasing population, technology and
overconsumption, all of which have created a negative impact on the
environment and continue to put humans and animals at risk.
• Another element of environmental protection is resource management – the way
humans interact with the natural world in order to protect and preserve natural
ecosystems. This may involve considering ethical, economic and ecological
variables in order to limit environmental degradation.
• Courses in this field are multidisciplinary – it challenges students to
combine skills and knowledge from a variety of different fields. This could
mean exploring aspects of biology, chemistry, physics, geography, earth
and marine sciences, and also social sciences. Students will learn to
combine multiple perspectives and data sources in order to build up a
fuller understanding of natural and human environments.
• Fieldwork is an important part of most environmental protection courses.
Students often participate in field trips to study and experience different
habitats, climates, land formations and societies. You can also expect to
spend a fair amount of time in the lab, learning how to carry out different
types of tests and analyses. It is common for students to undertake
voluntary work in an environment-related role, which provides valuable
experience to prepare them for future environmental protection careers.
Environmental Economics
• Environmental economics is the study of the cost-effective allocation,
use, and protection of the world's natural resources.
• Economics, broadly speaking, is the study of how humans produce
and consume goods and services. Environmental economics focuses
on how they use and manage finite resources in a manner that serves
the population while meeting concerns about environmental impact.
• This helps governments weigh the pros and cons of alternative
measures and design
• Environmental economists are concerned with identifying specific
problems, but there can be many approaches to solving the same
environmental issue. If a state is trying to impose a transition to clean
energy, for example, they have several options. The government can
impose a fixed limit on carbon emissions, or it can adopt more
incentive-based solutions, like placing quantity-based taxes on
emissions or offering to companies that adopt renewable power
sources.
• All of these strategies rely on state intervention in the
market, but some governments prefer to use a light
touch and others may be more assertive. The degree of
acceptable state intervention is an important political
factor in determining environmental economic policy.
• Broadly speaking, environmental economics may
produce two types of policies:Because the nature and
economic value of environmental goods often transcend
national boundaries, environmental economics
frequently requires a transnational approach. For
example, an environmental economist could identify
overfishing as a negative externality to be addressed.
