Environmental

Protection

By: Engr. Hassan Jamshed


Environmental Protection
Environmental Protection can be, in short, summarized as
cumulative efforts that individuals, governments, and
businesses are undertaking to protect natural resources
and repair the damages caused by negative impacts.
• Awareness about environment protection and
conservation of the environment has increased on a
large scale since the 1970s. In recent years, several
movements have created social awareness about the
negative impacts of the degenerating environment.
• Before we begin learning conservation of the
environment, we need to know the factors involved that
threaten our environment and its impact.
Factors that pose a significant threat to our
environment
• Climate change/global warming
• Pollution of all types of air, water, noise
• Depletion of natural habitats
• Pollution of air, water, and noise impacts our
environment more significantly than we know. Depleting
the ozone layer, deforestation, and pollution lead to
rapid depletion of natural habitats, which in turn, cause
loss of wildlife and biodiversity.
Negative Impacts of Degenerating Environment

• Flooding
• Migration of wildlife
• Migration of people
• Loss of biodiversity
• Food and water scarcity
• Degenerating health and quality of life
• The increased cost of resources
Impact on wildlife and
biodiversity
• Over the years, we have witnessed the endangerment
of many flora and fauna across the globe. Mammals,
insects, birds, reptiles, and micro-organisms have seen
many species completely endangered, while many
species are on the verge of being permanently
endangered. When any species is lost, it impacts the
biodiversity pyramid. It gives rise to an uncontrolled
population of the lower animal of the pyramid, which
further de-settles the entire ecosystem.
What is Conservation of
Environment?
• As the word conservation itself suggests, conservation
of the environment is the efforts undertaken to prevent
the degeneration of the environment and repair the
damages caused to it. Prevention of the collapse of the
ecosystem is the main aim of conserving the
environment. Prevention of nature is a critical part of
the conservation of the environment.
Government Policies for conservation of
environment
• It is a fundamental duty of every citizen to care for the
environment, live a sustainable life, take measures for
the conservation of the environment, and preserve
nature. Government passes and implements laws to
protect and maintain our environment from time to
time.
Preserving Nature
• Along with government efforts of preserving nature on
an individual level, we can take small actions that
conserve the environment and preserve nature. We can
begin with taking small steps such as:
• Planting plants and bushes around our house gives a
permanent habitat to insects and bees.
• Buy local produce to reduce your carbon footprint.
• Be sensitive about the usage of electricity.
• Mindfully utilising resources such as water.
• Reduce food wastage.
• The above list is not exhaustive, and many more efforts
can be undertaken to preserve nature and conserve the
environment. One profound way of keeping up with
conserving the environment and preserving nature is to
know new trends by keeping track of current
environmental affairs.
• By staying updated with current environmental affairs,
we can ensure that we are being mindful and thoughtful
about conserving our environment and preserving our
nature. We can learn about current environmental
affairs by reading specific blogs written about the
conservation of the environment. In modern times, we
can also take the help of social media to stay updated
with current environmental affairs.
Conclusion
• The above guide describes in detail the need to
conserve the environment, the need to preserve nature
and how we can take small steps to have sustainable
growth. To have a higher quality of life and health for
people, conserve natural resources and keep
maintaining a healthy balance of the ecosystem, it is
needed that we take steps to conserve the environment
and preserve nature.
