ecological disruption

Ecological disruption occurs when natural systems—such as forests, lakes, and animal populations—are significantly altered or damaged by human activities or environmental changes. This can lead to loss of biodiversity, imbalance in ecosystems, and reduced natural services like clean water, fertile land, and climate regulation. Disruptions may result from pollution, deforestation, overfishing, or climate change, causing ecosystems to become less resilient and able to support life effectively. Maintaining ecological balance is vital for health, survival, and sustainability of the planet and its inhabitants.
