Human Impact on the Environment
Introduction
In this project I aim to explain the contributes to the environment by the actions of humans and display the consequences.
I am going to divide the project into different sections and then sub sections to make the project easier to navigate around and keep the information in relevant sections.
• Section 1: HABITAT REDUCTION BY HUMANS.
* The building of houses and roads
* Quarrying
* Farming
* The draining of wetland areas
* Recreational uses
• Section 2: POLLUTION.
* WATER POLLUTION- sewage, fertilizers, chemicals and eutrophication.
ü AIR POLLUTION- Sculpture dioxide from burning fossil fuels leading to acid rain, carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels and methane from cattle and rice fields leading to greenhouse effect and global warming. * LAND POLLUTION - pesticides, herbicides, and nitrates wash into rivers and lakes affecting food chains.
Habitat reduction by Humans
Human beings are dependent on the Earth's diversity of species for our survival. Wild species play a vital role in the maintenance of the planets ecological functions, yet everyday on the planet 40-100 species become extinct. Many countries across the world have not got an endangered species act that is strong enough to protect varying species from the destruction of humans.
All over the globe humans are determined in building more houses and roads to supply the growing population of its residence, making their
Lives easier but not sparing a thought to the many habitats, lives and even species that they will destroy when doing so. A recent local case has been the building of the BNRR. When building houses and roads fields, rivers, ponds, and reservoirs get destroyed along with many animals habitat, leaving them with no where to live and will probably die. The whole point of crop farming (monoculture) is to remove a mixed population of trees, shrubs etc and replace it with a dense
