The ecosystem and developmental activities share a very close and delicate relationship.

  • The ecosystem is said to be comprised of all the plants and animals in a specific area, along with their non-living surroundings.
  • The ecosystem is relatively fragile and can only tolerate modifications up to a certain extent. Developmental activities may sometimes exceed this limit. In situations such as these, the welfare of the ecosystem and the developmental activities happening within it are at odds with each other.
  • The development we talk of here refers to the process of improving the social, political and economic well-being of a nation or community, in accordance with pre-decided milestones and objectives.
  • Hence, it is imperative that what is development for one might not be the same for another. This is when there are conflicting developmental goals.
  • It is with this perspective that we view the relationship between development and the ecosystem. For instance, building a dam across a river may lead to economic prosperity as the generation of electricity increases. However, large areas of grazing land get inundated and the aquatic life of the river suffers adverse consequences. In other words, what leads to development might not lead to the welfare of the ecosystem and may even work against it.
  • However, there are instances where development has been useful to the ecosystem. For instance, the development of solar cells is beneficial for the environment as it reduces hazardous waste generation by discardable batteries.
