Consequences
- Problems with ecosystems have a sizable effect on people. Ecosystem services, including food production, timber and fisheries, are important for economic activity and employment. While exploitation of ecosystems can result in short-term economic gains, people are left with fewer resources to exploit in the future. Accordingly, it is necessary to ensure a sustainable use of the world's forests, oceans and other ecosystems. In addition, ruined ecosystems result in pollution that has a negative impact on people's health.
- The planet faces a variety of troubling issues that stem from man-made contamination. Many of these lead to environmental problems that are causing long-term damage to the earth's ecosystem. The Global Issues website explains that the only way to control current environmental issues is to create sustainable development strategies and continue to instill conservation methods.
Environmental Accidents
- Some man-made accidents threaten wildlife and the ecosystem. Although these accidents are relatively rare because of increased safety procedures, accidents still occur, sometimes with devastating effects. Examples include oil spills, radioactive leaks, tanker spills, pipeline bursts and drilling accidents. The best solution for accidental spills and leaks is
to create additional safety protocol using both computerized and human detection systems.
- Climate change is the single biggest environmental and humanitarian crisis of our time. We must act now to spur the adoption of cleaner energy sources at home and abroad.
