The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, or factors that affect the life, development, and survival of organisms, including humans. It encompasses both natural and artificial elements, including air, water, land, flora, fauna, climate, and human-made structures. The environment is dynamic and involves the interaction of living organisms with their physical and biological surroundings. It plays a crucial role in shaping ecosystems and influencing biodiversity, as well as affecting health, quality of life, and the sustainability of resources. Environmental studies often focus on understanding these interactions, the impact of human activity on ecosystems, and the measures needed to protect and preserve the natural world.
