Environment

The term “Environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, or factors that affect the life, development, and survival of living organisms. This includes both natural elements—such as air, water, land, flora, and fauna—and human-made components like urban infrastructure, pollution, and societal structures. The environment encompasses ecosystems, climate, weather patterns, and biodiversity, as well as the interactions between these elements and living beings. It plays a critical role in determining the quality of life and health of both individuals and communities. Environmental science studies these relationships and the impact of human activity on the Earth’s systems, with a focus on sustainability and conservation.
