Environment

The term “Environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, or context in which organisms or systems operate. It encompasses both the natural elements, such as air, water, land, flora, and fauna, and the human-made aspects, including infrastructure, urban development, and socio-economic factors. The environment influences and interacts with living organisms, affecting their growth, behavior, and survival. In a broader context, the term also implies the complex interrelationships among biological, physical, chemical, and social components, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Environmental studies investigate these interactions and the effects of human activities on natural systems, aiming to promote sustainable practices and conservation efforts.
