MOTHER NATURE
The natural environment, with all its ecosystem services, comprises the entire basis for life on the planet. Its value is therefore impossible to quantify or even model.

What Is Environmental Degradation?
Environmental degradation is a result of socio-economical, technological and institutional activities. Degradation occurs when Earth's natural resources are depleted. These resources which are affected include:WaterAirSoilThe degradation also impacts our:WildlifePlantsAnimalsMicro-organisms

How Environmental Degradation Occurs:
Environmental changes are based on many factors including:UrbanizationThe Population ExplosionIntensification of agricultureIncrease in energy useIncrease in transportation

Ineffective international policies
Ineffective interational policies leave the future of the environment in a critical state with carbon dioxide level rising out of control. It is predicted that the Earth’s temperature will increase by “11-degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century” (ABC Science, 2010).
