Answer:

Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be deleterious or undesirable.As indicated by the I=PAT equation, environmental impact or degradation is caused by the combination of an already very large and increasing human population (P), continually increasing economic growth or per capita affluence (A), and the application of resource-depleting and polluting technology (T).

Environmental degradation is one of the ten threats officially cautioned by the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change of the United Nations. The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction defines environmental degradation as "the reduction of the capacity of the environment to meet social and ecological objectives, and needs". Environmental degradation comes in many types. When natural habitats are destroyed or natural resources are depleted, the environment is degraded. Efforts to counteract this problem include environmental protection and environmental resources management.

Degradation of environment in tropical and subtropical region

  • The environment in tropical and subtropical region is degrading due to the atmosphere is deteriorating as a result of man and his deliberate disregard for maintaining a stable world.
  • In subtropical and tropical region, the loss of biodiversity has been due to human overpopulation,  continued human population growth, and the over-consumption of natural resources by the industrialized world.
  • Climate change (CC) is any substantial climate change over time in the long term, caused by nature or human activity.

         For example:  erratic rainfall patterns that lead to lack of access to safe water, rising temperatures and .

  • In tropical and subtropical  ' high energy use and high population densities give rise large amounts of waste water and sewage, and household waste. Industrialisation and urbanisation are the main causes of nuclear, agricultural and domestic waste.
  • Ecologically sustainable development is the environmental component of sustainable development there are  serious irreversible environmental damage, and certainty should not be used as a reason for a  measures to prevent environmental degradation.
