Ecosystem Disruption

Ecosystem disruption occurs when natural environments are altered in a way that negatively impacts the plants, animals, and other organisms living there. This can happen due to human activities like deforestation, pollution, or industrialization, or natural events like fires and storms. Such disruptions can reduce biodiversity, imbalance food chains, and degrade the natural services ecosystems provide, such as clean air, water, and food. Overall, ecosystem disruption threatens the stability and health of the environment, which can affect human well-being and the Earth's natural resilience.
