4 of the Most Recent Factors that causes Environmental Degradation

1. Pollution – Pollution destroys our nature little by little by introducing harmful materials or
chemicals that negatively affects or environment.
2. Deforestation – Deforestation is the clearance or removal of the forest that convert for non-
forest use that mainly causes natural hazards like landslide.
3. Climate Change – Climate change refers for the long-term shifts of temperature or weather
patterns but because of human activities, climate change is now considered as hazard because it
traps heat gases cause by burning fossils and coals.
4. Overexploitation – Overexploitation is caused by removal of marine life just like deforestation
but in water. This action may cause extinction of marine wildlife.

My Opinion to Minimize the Impact of Climate Change Particularly in our coastal Marine Resources

To minimize the impact of climate change, we should avoid the main cause of it which is the
humans’ activities. Humans’ activities greatly affect the climate change the harms the wildlife. If this
actions keep happening, the wildlife might extinct and it will also affect us.
