ENVIRONMENT
The ultimate source of
many inputs such as raw
materials, energy which
business firms use in their
productive activity.
 NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT
It consists of land-based
ecosystems such as grasslands
and forests, aquatic ecosystems
such as rivers and wetlands, and
coastal and marine ecosystems
such as mangroves and sea-
grass meadows.

M The state’s diverse and unique
P mix of plants, animals, soils,
O seas and waterways function
R together as ecosystems, which
T produce some of our most basic
A needs – clean water, productive
N soil, natural pest control,
C pollination, flood mitigation and
E carbon sequestration.

and to our spiritual and
E
cultural well-being.

M It provides a wealth of benefits and
P offers the potential for more to be
discovered. Maintaining our natural
O
environment for future generations is
R
important insurance in the face of
T ongoing change.
A The value of these ecosystems to
N humans is immeasurable. Replacing
C the services they provide would be
E extremely challenging and costly, if not
impossible.
 NATURAL

B Natural areas help clean our air, purify our water, produce food and medicines,
E reduce chemical and noise pollution, slow floodwaters, and cool our streets.
We call this work ‘ecosystem services’.
N • Food and habitat for wildlife Lizards, fish, frogs and water birds feed on
E wetland plants, small fish, worms, crayfish, and aquatic insects. These
smaller animals, along with bacteria, break down dead organisms that sink
F to the bottom, which produces nutrients that help wetland plants grow.
I • Improved waterway health Wetlands purify water from drains and natural
waterways. Reeds, plants, and algae help filter toxins, chemicals, harmful
T bacteria and sediment. This is further broken down by small animals and
microorganisms in the silt. Cleaner water is then returned to rivers, creeks
S and waterways.

B  Good for our wellbeing Wetlands provide food, medicine and materials.
E In our cities they give us vital green space and a chance to enjoy nature.
Wetlands are also spiritually important for Aboriginal people and other
N cultures.
E  A more stable climate Wetlands break down and store significant
amounts of carbon within their plants and soil, instead of releasing it into
F the atmosphere as carbon pollution.
I  Flood control Wetlands soak up excess water from heavy rainfall, which is
stored and slowly released back into the environment. Wetland vegetation
T helps stabilize creek and river banks. Saltmarshes and mangroves help
S protect our shorelines and river banks by slowing erosion from floods and
storm surges.

 People who live close to nature are more likely to be social,
E know their neighbors and experience less crime.
N  Suburbs with more trees and fewer paved areas are cooler.
E It’s important to green our neighborhoods.
F Our climate is changing and we’re likely to face more hot
days above 35⁰C.
I
 Hard, impervious surfaces like concrete increase runoff from
T heavy rain, resulting in more damaging floods. Green or
S planted areas reduce the risk of damaging floods, slow water
flow down, and filter water before it enters our waterways.

NEGATIVE IMPACT OF HUMANS
Human activity has had a negative impact on the natural
environment. This is most apparent in the way that humans
have changed the landscape through activities such as farming,
forestry, and mining. These activities have led to soil erosion,
deforestation, and habitat loss. In addition to this, humans have
also polluted the air, water, and soil with harmful chemicals and
waste products. This pollution has caused problems such as
acid rain, global warming, and the depletion of the ozone layer.

It refers to the human-made

for human activity, ranging in scale
from buildings and parks or green
space to neighborhoods and cities
that can often include there
infrastructure, such as

that are designed with health and

In landscape architecture, the built
environment is understood to mean a
human-made landscape, as
distinguished from the natural
environment; for example, a city park
is a built environment.

S activity, which turn, positive affects health.
