Urbanization and development can really hurt natural ecosystems. Here’s how:
Habitat Destruction: When we build buildings and roads, we take away the places where animals and plants live. This makes it harder for these species to survive.
Pollution: More waste and emissions from our activities make the air and water dirty. This can be harmful to wildlife.
Biodiversity Loss: Many plants and animals are at risk of disappearing because their homes are getting broken up, and some are hunted too.
To help with these problems, we can focus on planning our cities in a way that is good for the environment. We can also make stricter rules to protect the environment and support efforts to save ecosystems that are still here.
But, it’s not easy. We have to deal with strong economic interests that can be hard to change.
