To start with, can we ask ourselves the definition of the environment? The Merriam Webster Dictionary explains it is the complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors that act upon an organism and ecological community and ultimately its form and survival.
The environment is indeed an inter-dependent complex of many factors including the biotic (biological components), abiotic (physical components), and the socio-cultural aspect of the population and flora and fauna of the living component.
What are Environmental Studies?
Environmental studies are a group of multiple and inter-disciplinary studies, studying the relations of humans and the environment, and the impact of humans on nature.
It is a part of the broader field of environmental education, which integrates the basics of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geology, Statistics, Sociology, History, etc.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) is an Indian government ministry. The ministry portfolio is currently held by Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Reasons why do we need Environmental Studies?
In a simple way, Nature studies or environmental studies are a way to learn more about the environment and help it conserve by reducing our impact on it. We have listed the following reasons why we should give a boost to environmental studies.
Reasons why do we need Environmental Studies?
Climate change: People have realized that something bigger than just global warming has started affecting our daily lives over these years. Global warming—the rise in temperature of the atmosphere, is one among the many changes in global climatic conditions. The ever increasing melting of snow, the consistent droughts and extreme floods in many parts of the world, changed migratory patterns of the birds and behaviour of oceanic organisms, are all indicative of drastic climate change.
Pollution: The biggest driving factor of modern environmental education is pollution. Pollution has become a characteristic of almost everything – food, soil, air, water, land, oceans—which has forced us to rethink about the environment in its original state.
