Category: Natural Environment

Natural environment refers to the living and non-living components of the Earth that have not been significantly altered by human activity. It includes the Earth’s ecosystems, such as;

• forests,
• oceans,
• grasslands,
• wetlands,
• soil, and
• water resources.

The natural environment provides essential ecosystem services that support human life, including air and water purification, soil fertility, and climate regulation. It also provides habitats for a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are critical to the balance and functioning of ecosystems. The natural environment is under threat from human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices that protect and preserve these valuable resources for future generations.
