Humans have dominated the world for thousands of years. Our superior intelligence has enabled us to adapt to adverse situations. Human ability to adapt coupled with Man’s scientific advancement has allowed him to grow and multiply uncontrollably.
The growing human population has adversely affected the environment in various ways. The demand for resources increases with the growth in population. To meet this demand, human beings never hesitate to exploit the environment.
We cut trees to make way for the towns and cities. Plants and trees are usually the first link in all food chains. Felling trees disturbs food chains and affects ecosystems. Population explosion is really a threat to the environment.
Humans are increasing in number across the globe with great speed. Our growth at an exponential rate is depleting the natural resources available to us. Cutting trees and destroying forests will gradually wipe away the wild life and pollute he healthy living environment. We are destroying the natural habitats of wildlife to create space for towns and cities.
