Environmental Sensitivity

Environmental sensitivity refers to how individuals or ecosystems respond to environmental changes or stimuli. For people, it means being more or less affected by factors like noise, light, chemicals, or stress, often due to innate traits or genetics. Some individuals have heightened sensitivity, experiencing stronger reactions, while others are more resilient. Similarly, sensitive ecosystems are highly responsive to external impacts, such as pollution or climate shifts. Recognizing environmental sensitivity helps in managing potential risks and designing strategies that accommodate different responses, ensuring healthier environments and well-being for both people and nature.
