THE ENVIRONMENT

The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species. The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components:

All living criaturas and the characteristics of the area where they live form the enviroment.
Every living creature lives in a specific place. People have adapted to live anywhere.

ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEMS

• The acumulation on the ground, in the air, and in the water of harmful substances causes pollution. These substances harm living creatures.
•  Deforestation is the disappearance of forest. Cutting down many trees, pollution and fires causes trees disappear.
•  Desertification is the transformation of some landscapes into desert areas. The soil is very dry and very poor.
•  Excessive hunting, fires, and other actions can cause the extinction, or disappearence, of living creatures.

Many enviromental problems are connected. For example, deforestation leads desertification and the extinction of living creatures.

SOLUTIONS

• Reduce pollution. We can useautomatic fuels that do not pollut as much. 
•  Avoid cutting down trees wild for wood. We can grow trees and cut them down to get wood.
• Fordib funting animals that are in danger of extinction. Can stop selling the products we get from these animals, like ivory.
• Protect specific areas that are very important because of their natural values. We can do this by creating protected natural areas.

Everyone in our society has to cooperate.
