What are the major threats to the environment today?

Our environment is facing multiple challenges that threaten the planet’s natural balance:

Overpopulation – The growing human population puts pressure on natural resources like water, forests, and energy.

Climate Change – Caused by greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, factories, and deforestation. It leads to global warming, rising sea levels, and extreme weather.

Deforestation – Forests are being cut down for agriculture, mining, and urban expansion, resulting in loss of wildlife and increase in carbon dioxide.

Plastic Pollution – Single-use plastics are choking oceans, killing marine life, and entering our food chain.

Air and Water Pollution – Industrial smoke, vehicle exhaust, and chemical waste pollute the air and water, affecting both humans and animals.

Loss of Biodiversity – Human activities are driving thousands of species toward extinction, which weakens ecosystems.
