Modern human impact

Modern human impact refers to the ways in which people's activities affect the environment and natural systems. This includes actions like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, pollution, and overfishing, which contribute to climate change, loss of biodiversity, and ecosystem degradation. These activities often alter the balance of nature, leading to more frequent extreme weather, rising sea levels, and the decline of many plant and animal species. Understanding our impact helps us make informed decisions to reduce harm, promote sustainability, and protect the planet for future generations.
