The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case not artificial. The term is most often applied to the Earth or some parts of Earth.
The environment the sum total of all surroundings of a living organism, including natural forces and other living things, which provide conditions for development and growth as well as of danger and damage.
Nature Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. “Nature” can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature,...
Effects Of Global Warming The effects of global warming are the environmental and social changes caused (directly or indirectly) by human emissions of greenhouse gases. There is a broad scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, and that human activities are the primary driver.[1] Many impacts of climate change have already been observed, including extreme...
Global Warming Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system. It is a major aspect of current climate change, and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming.[1][2] The term commonly refers to the mainly human-caused increase in global surface temperatures and its...
Climate Change Climate change occurs when changes in Earth’s climate system result in new weather patterns that last for at least a few decades, and maybe for millions of years. The climate system comprises five interacting parts, the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (water), cryosphere (ice and permafrost), biosphere (living things), and...
Conservation Movement The conservation movement, also known as nature conservation, is a political, environmental, and social movement that seeks to protect natural resources including animal and plant species as well as their habitat for the future. Evidence-based conservation seeks to use high quality scientific evidence to make conservation efforts more effective. The early conservation movement...
What Is Environmentalism? Environmentalism or environmental rights is a broad philosophy, ideology, and social movement regarding concerns for environmental protection and improvement of the health of the environment, particularly as the measure for this health seeks to incorporate the impact of changes to the environment on humans, animals, plants and non-living matter....
Environmental Pollution Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. In...
Natural Environment The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case not artificial. The term is most often applied to the Earth or some parts of Earth. This environment encompasses the interaction of all living species, climate, weather and natural resources that affect human survival and economic activity.[1] The concept of the natural...
Our Common Environment Environment is whatever outside an organism surrounds it and in which it lives. It may be a geographical region, a certain climatic condition, the pollutants or the noise around the organism. The natural environment contains a mosaic of species (groups of interacting organisms). They do not live...
What Is Recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to “conventional” waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw...
Remember Conservation The fact that necessitated by His Name of All Wise, the All-Glorious Maker follows the lightest way, the shortest path, the easiest fashion, the most beneficial form shows that there is no wastefulness, futility, and absence of benefits in the nature of things. Wastefulness is the opposite of...
Conservation As Ethic Conservation‘s goals include protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services and protecting biological diversity. A range of values underlie conservation, which can be guided by biocentrism, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism and sentientism.[1] There has recently been a movement towards evidence-based conservation which calls for greater use of...
Water for Life There are about 1,360 million cubic kilometers of water on the earth. If all the water, on the planet; from oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, underground aquifers and what is locked up in glaciers and snow, were all released at once the earth’s surface could be flooded...
The Evolution of the Conservation Movement, 1850-1920 Concern for the relationship between humans and the natural world has been a definitive element in nearly all cultures. In the United States, however, between about 1850 and 1920, a heightened conservation consciousness first emerged as a complex, broadly popular political and cultural...
Man and Ecology: An Islamic Perspective Environmental Crisis “When the earth is shaken with a (violent) shaking, And the earth reveals what burdens her, And man says: What has befallen her? On that day she shall tell her story….” (Qur’an 99:1-4) In light of today’s environmental crises, many secular and...
Islam And The Protection Of The Environment Introduction The Holy Qur’an states that Man is the noblest of created beings: Man is God’s vicegerent on His earth; it was to Man that God made the Angels prostrate themselves; God breathed some of His Spirit into Man; God questioned Man in...
Islam & the Environment What is expected of a viceroy, a trustee or ruler? If those over whom one commands power are killed without cause, have their homes polluted heedlessly with toxic wastes, and have deformities and diseases resulting from the careless and wasteful disposal of carcinogens, should not the...
Environmental Epidemiology Environmental epidemiology is a branch of epidemiology concerned with determining how environmental exposures impact human health.[2] This field seeks to understand how various external risk factors may predispose to or protect against disease, illness, injury, developmental abnormalities, or death. These factors may be naturally occurring or may be...
Difference Between Conservation and Preservation Conservation and preservation are both methods that are very much necessary to safeguard the future of certain vital phenomena of the world such as the environment, natural energies among other things. However, sometimes these two words have been seen to be used interchangeably which should...
Conservation vs. Preservation and Natural Regulation Abstract: Preservation and Conservation are two different theories regarding the management of natural resources. In this paper, I examine the differences between the two theories, and discuss the manner in which the concept of natural regulation is featured. Conservation versus Preservation In the era...
