      food provision for a growing population has meant that there has been large scale conversation of natural habits to agriculture.

       around 43% of typical and the subtropical dry and monsoon forests and 45% of temperature broadleaf and the mixed forests ,globally have been converted to croplands ,while mangrove ecosystem have been converted to coastal agriculture.

        our roads and other infrastructure such has irrigation canals ,which are seen has essential for agriculture development ,tend to dissect the landscape and this this hinders the free Movement of wildlife and the dissemination of plant species.




     where our food provisions is form wide sources, overeploitation and the certain finishing particles can have major impacts on species composition. overexploitatation is the leading threat to the world's marine fish. overfishing affects not only the target species but also habitats, food Webs, and non target species. high impact fishing including bottom trawling, long lining , gill netting and dynamite fishing causes damage to the biodiversity of sensitive habits , such as cold water reefs, tropical coral reefs ,and seamounts, and to migratory seabirds.

    currently 250 mammal species , 262 Birds species and 79 amphibian  species are listed as threatened due to overexploitation for food. in some groups of species and in some extra ecosystem ,over exploitation is a particular serious threat.

In part of South Asia for example ,almost all species of tour place and story stills are in serious turtles and tortoises are in serious decline as a result of harvesting for human composition and for medical purpose.in some cases over exploitation of plants , particularly medicinal plants, is also threatening many populations.

Major trends in Biodiversity change.

The biosphere has been transformed because of human actions                All   ecosystems have been drastically modified. changes in biological diversity   have been more Rapid in the past 50 years, then that any times in human history.    More Land was converted to crop lands in the year 30 years ,after 1950 then in the 150 years between 1700 and 1850.    Between 1960 and 2000, Reservoir storage capacity Quadrupled and as a result the amount of water stored behind large dams is estimated to be 3 to 6 times the amount of water flowing through rivers at any one time.    some 35% of mangroves have been lost in the last two decades in some of the countries.  already 20% of know coral reefs have been destroyed and another 20% degraded in the last several decades.       At present, the the fastest changes in in ecosystems are taking place in the developing countries however industrial...

What is Climate change?

What is Climate change?       Climate change is considered to be the most significant problem related to changes in the atmosphere being faced by humankind.  the  the socioeconomic impacts of Climate Change are likely to be very large.      Emissions of Co2 and other greenhouse gases due to human activities are the leading cause of contemporary climatic changes .  the most important contributor of Co2 is the use of fossil fuels 2000 - 2009 is the warmest decade on record . the greatest warming over the past century is in the Arctic region.             Now a days we very often talk about changed weather pattern particularly erratic rains, severe summers or very cold winters as also Storms and hurricanes.    most of the our discussions end up with a remark that all this is due to climate change . but we must see observely , if all such occurrence should be  ascribed to phen...

Built-up of Harmful substances and Hazardous Waste.

Built-up harmful substance and hazardous waste                        Chemicals are a part of everyday life over 100000 different substances are in use and provide employment trade and economic growth worldwilde . there is no single economic sector where Chemicals do not play an important role however Chemicals also have the potential to harm human health and the environment, if not managed properly.       people are exposed through occupational activities as well as in daily life through drinking contaminated water , eating contaminated food ,(example fish contaminated with Mercury, DDT and / as PCBs), breathing polluted air (outdoor as will as Indoor),and through direct skin contact.     the health related efforts range from acute poisoning to long term effect ,  search has cancer,birth defects , neurological disorders and hormone disruption.        Environ...
