Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION

2. INTRODUCTION
Environmental degradation an issue of
increasing concern for all of us.
• The deterioration of the environment through
depletion of resources, such as air, water and
soil.
• The destruction of ecosystems and the
extinction of wildlife.
We only have one Earth to work with, and if
the environment is irreparably
compromised, it could mean the end of
human existence.

3. EFFECTS of Environmental
Degradation

4. ECONOMIC EFFECT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
Water Pollution
• FRESHWATER POLLUTION BY PHOSPHOROUS AND
NITROGEN .
• MORE MONEY SPEND ON TREATMENT FOR WATER
PURIFYING.
• PRODUCTIVITY IS EFFECTED.
• SHORTAGE OF EVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES SUCH
AS DECLINE FISHRIES LEADING TO IRREVERSIBLE
COMPACTION.

5. Human Health
• Human health might be at the receiving end as
a result of the environmental degradation.
• Areas exposed to toxic pollutants of any sort of
pollution can cause respiratory problems like
pneumonia and asthma
• Millions of people are known to have died
due to pollution

6. Atmospheric Changes
• Ozone layer is responsible for protecting
earth from harmful ultraviolet rays
• The presence of carbons in the ozone
layer causes depletion
• Biodiversity is important for maintaining balance
of the ecosystem in the form of Combating
pollution, restoring nutrients, protecting water
sources and stabilizing climate

7. LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY
• DIRECT ECONOMIC VALUE OF
PRODUCTS FROM SPECIES.
• THE INDIRECT ECONOMIC VALUE OF
BENEFIT PRODUCED BY SPECIES.
• NUTRIENT RECYCLING IN
ECOSYSTEM.

8. Prevention measures
• Follow the 3 R's
• Green transportation
• Give back to the environment

9. • If we all rode bikes
instead of driving
cars we could
combat pollution
• Not only will the air
be clean of we all
chose green
transportation but
overtime we would
also be in a better
shape
GREEN TRANSPORTATION

10. Giving back to the environment
• Plant trees for everyone tree
that is it down.
• Keeping our forest alive not only for
ecosystem but also retaining the home
for wildlife system
• When the food chain is
affected ,humans are also affected
