The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, and settings in which an organism, community, or object exists. It encompasses the natural world, including air, water, soil, and living organisms, as well as human-made elements such as buildings, cities, and infrastructure. The environment can be divided into several components, including the physical environment (geographical and geological factors), biological environment (ecosystems and biodiversity), and social environment (cultural and economic factors). The interaction between these components shapes the quality of life, affects health, and influences behavior and development. The concept of the environment is critical in discussions about sustainability, conservation, and ecological balance, as it highlights the intricate web of interdependencies among various elements and the impact of human activities on the planet.
