About the Book

In the modern era, environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity pose significant threats to the planet and human well-being. Rapid industrialization, unsustainable consumption patterns, and overdependence on fossil fuels have exacerbated these problems, challenging ecosystems and the health of communities worldwide.

However, these challenges also present opportunities for change. Advances in green technology, increased environmental awareness, and global cooperation offer hope for preservation and restoration. Transitioning to renewable energy, implementing stricter environmental policies, and promoting sustainable lifestyles can significantly mitigate damage and restore ecological balance. While the path forward is complex, collective responsibility and innovation can lead to a more sustainable future for generations to come.

The present book compiles well researched articles on various issues of environment and its impact along with sustainable measures to preserve the balance of nature.
