This presentation discusses the nature, destruction, importance, and conservation of nature. It defines nature as the natural earth and things within it. The destruction of nature is mainly caused by changes in land and sea use, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. Nature is important because it provides food, air, water, and goods and services that people rely on for health, happiness and prosperity. Specific ways nature is being destroyed include deforestation, industrial activities releasing gases, chemicals entering the environment, and plastic pollution threatening wildlife and the climate. The presentation emphasizes the significant impacts human activity has had on 75% of Earth's land and 90% of wetlands.
3. WHAT IS NATURE ?
Nature is defined as the natural earth and the
things on it, or the essence of a person or thing.
The trees,forests,birds,and animals are all an
example of nature.
4. WHAT CAUSES THE
DESTRUCTION OF NATURE?
The loss of ecosystems is caused mainly by changes in land
and sea use, exploitation, climate change, pollution and
the introduction of invasive species. Some things have a
direct impact on nature, like the dumping of waste into the
ocean. Other causes are indirect.
5. WHY IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE
VALUE NATURE ?
The natural world is an incredible wonder that inspires us all. It
underpins our economy, our society, indeed our very existence.
Our forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide us with the food we
eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate our crops with. We
also rely on them for numerous other goods and services we
depend on for our health, happiness and prosperity.
6. HOW NATURE IS GETTING
DESTROYED ?
People
Business and Industry
Chemicals
Plastics
Natural disasters
7. HOW HUMANS ARE
DESTROYING THE NATURE?
Deforestation and the conversion of wild spaces for human
food production have largely been blamed for the
destruction of Earth's web of life. The report highlights
that 75% of the Earth's ice-free land has been significantly
altered by human activity, and almost 90% of global
wetlands have been lost since 1700.
8. HOW DOES INDUSTRY AFFECT THE
NATURE?
As we touched on earlier, a huge portion of
climate change or global warming can be
attributed to our reliance on industrial
activities over the years. Toxic materials and
gases are burned and released into the
atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and
methane. ... Global Warming can lead to:
Rising sea levels.
9. HOW DO CHEMICALS AFFECT THE
NATURE ?
Chemicals can enter the air, water, and soil
when they are produced, used or disposed.
Their impact on the environment is determined
by the amount of the chemical that is
released, the type and concentration of the
chemical, and where it is found.
10. HOW DOES PLASTIC HARM
THE NATURE?
Plastic sticks around in the environment for
ages, threatening wildlife and spreading toxins. Plastic
also contributes to global warming. Almost all plastics are
made from chemicals that come from the production of
planet-warming fuels (gas, oil and even coal).
