Talk about what is the degradation of nature, has been going on for many decades.However, only in the 70s of the last century to the analysis of this issue began to come from a rational point of view.During this period, almost all the developed countries were created special structures, which was charged to deal with problems of nature conservation.It is at this point, environmental degradation has reached such a level that ignore the negative phenomena became impossible.It should be noted that in previous years, local environmental disasters occurred in different countries and in different territories.
Of course, this problem is known to mankind for a long time.If you wonder what a degradation in a particular sense, the answers will be different.Already in the ancient civilizations of farmers faced with the problem of soil depletion.When haphazard agriculture in the field for several years to reduce its yield to critical indicators.People had no choice as to move to another place and start all over again.Such a method of survival, otherwise it will not name, was used for a long historical period.However, with population growth arable land was not enough.
According to British scientists, in 1750 the world's population numbered only 500 million. People.In 2002, people began to more than 6 billion.By the thirteenth year this figure will exceed 7 billion.This is the explosive increase radically changes the quality of the habitat.Every person is born to a certain extent suffers from what the degradation of living space.Today, in many densely populated regions of Europe, Asia and Africa, an acute problem in the provision of drinking water.Meanwhile, rivers dry up because of the fact that there is an intensive deforestation.
According to the calculations, which are held by means of mathematical modeling, forest cover in the world has declined by nearly 50% compared to the index, which was five thousand years ago.Today, forests are being cut down rapidly.As a result, there is a rapid degradation of the animal world.Pets are disappearing at an alarming rate.This phenomenon must be added the fact that the volume of waste of human life is also increasing rapidly.Figuratively speaking, the planet is gradually turning into a big dump.All these problems can not disturb the progressive part of humanity, and certain measures have already been taken.
At the time when many are already well what the degradation of nature, developed a variety of programs to improve the current situation.When the United Nations set up a special structure that conducts extensive work in this direction.Create a variety of advisory councils and committees that evaluate the newly created project and work with the existing enterprises.The well-known environmental activist Greenpeace conducts surveillance and carries out examination in all problem areas.There is every reason to believe that humanity will find a way out of the situation.
