What is Environmental Science?
Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary field of study that explores the interactions between living organisms and their environment, with a focus on understanding the Earth's natural systems, resources, and the impact of human activities. It integrates knowledge from various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, geology, geography, and social sciences, to analyze environmental issues, assess their consequences, and develop sustainable solutions.
Environmental scientists work to address a wide range of global challenges, including climate change, pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and resource depletion. They play a crucial role in developing solutions that promote a more sustainable and harmonious relationship between humans and the environment.
