Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans. Humans are, sadly, one of the main causes of environmental issues.

Whether it be pollution from car and factory edition. Or pesticides for plants that wash off and run off into rivers, then lakes, and gradually into the ocean. And their causes can cause major effects on our environment. Like the poisoning of ecosystems, animals eating things they shouldn't, or animals dying from choking hazards.

The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth.

Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some way or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance.
