HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON NATURE In the past, there were fewer people in the world, so the natural environment stayed safe. But today, the world population is much bigger, and people are changing the environment in many ways. Forests and wetlands have been cut down to make space for farms, cities, and factories. This has destroyed the homes of many animals and plants. In some cases, animal groups have been split into smaller parts, and they cannot survive easily. Another big problem is over-harvesting. People use too many plants and animals for food, products, or money. When something is useful or valuable, we often take too much of it. This has happened with whales, elephants, tuna, and many other animals. These species become rare or disappear completely. Human pollution is also hurting nature. Factories put dirty chemicals into rivers, which can kill fish and other animals. A big problem is eutrophication. This happens when too much fertilizer from farms goes into rivers and lakes. It causes algae to grow fast, and other animals do not get enough oxygen to live. Air pollution can cause acid rain. This makes lakes more acidic, which kills fish and other animals like frogs and snails. People also move plants and animals to new places. These are called alien species. Some of them grow fast and take food and space from local species. Finally, climate change is a growing danger. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil adds gases to the air. These gases trap heat and make the Earth warmer. Global warming causes problems like longer dry seasons, stronger storms, melting ice, and rising sea levels. This can be very dangerous for people, animals, and the whole planet.
