Anthropogenic Effects

Anthropogenic effects are environmental changes caused directly by human activities. This includes pollution from factories and vehicles, deforestation for agriculture or development, and the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. These actions can lead to climate change, loss of biodiversity, air and water pollution, and other ecological impacts. Essentially, human activities alter natural systems, often disrupting ecosystems and affecting the health of the planet. Recognizing these effects is crucial for developing sustainable solutions to protect the environment for future generations.
