Human development often negatively impacts the environment through deforestation, industrial pollution, and urbanization. Increased consumption leads to resource depletion and habitat destruction, threatening biodiversity. Industrial activities release pollutants, contributing to air and water pollution. Climate change is accelerated by the emission of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. Urban expansion results in habitat loss and fragmentation, affecting wildlife. Unsustainable practices, like overfishing and agriculture, deplete natural resources. Overall, human development, when not carried out sustainably, disrupts ecosystems, compromises biodiversity, and contributes to environmental degradation, posing long-term challenges for both ecosystems and human well-being.
