    Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil. It can be caused by deforestation, climate change, and poverty, which leads to effects like reduced biodiversity, disrupted water cycles, soil erosion, and decreased carbon absorption. Potential solutions include regenerative planting, tree planting, microfinance, and spiritual renewal.

    DEGREDATION
    WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL DEGREDATION?
    WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL DEGREDATION?

    • Deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such


    as air, water and soil

    • When natural habitats are destroyed or natural resources are


    depleted, the environment is degraded

    • can be defined as the negative effects of any human activity on


    the environment. The biological as well as the physical features
    of the environment are included
    WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? (CAUSE)

    1. DEFORESTATION
    • Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make
    the land available for other uses. It is one of the leading causes of
    environmental degradation because it reduces biodiversity, disrupts the
    water cycle, and contributes to climate change
    • Trees also play an important role in the water cycle by absorbing water
    from the ground and releasing it into the atmosphere. Without trees,
    the water cycle is disrupted, leading to droughts and floods.
    WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? (CAUSE)

    2. CLIMATE CHANGE
    • Climate change is a major contributor to environmental degradation
    because it can cause soil erosion, which is the process of wearing
    away the land surface by the action of natural forces such as wind,
    water, and ice. Climate change can cause an increase in the intensity
    and frequency of storms, worsening erosion. This can be especially
    damaging in areas that are already prone to soil erosion due to their
    topography or land use.
    WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? (CAUSE)

    3. POVERTY
    • Poverty is a major contributor to environmental degradation. People
    living in poverty often experience hunger and food insecurity, which
    leads to over-exploitation of natural resources. For example, trees are
    frequently harvested to turn into charcoal, a product that can be sold
    for quick cash. This can lead to deforestation, air pollution, and other
    unsustainable practices that have a negative impact on the
    environment.
    EFFECTS
    • POVERTY- compaction, which reduces the amount of air and water
    that can be held in the soil. Finally, it can lead to a decrease in organic
    matter, which affects the ability of the soil to retain nutrients and water
    and to support plant growth.

    • DEFORESTATION- reduces biodiversity, disrupts the water cycle,


    and contributes to climate change.

    • CLIMATE CHANGE- flood,habitat destruction,deforestation,release


    greenhouse gasses(decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide)
    SOLUTION
    1. REGENERATIVE PLANTING

    2. TREE PLANTING

    3. SAVINGS & LOAN OPPORTUNITIES

    4. SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
    THAT’S ALL!!
