“…For instance, pollution is a byproduct of human activity in the environment, with agricultural, water pollution, and air pollution serving as its primary causes. It is a natural or human-induced process that has an adverse influence on the ability of the land to take, store, and recycle water, energy, and nutrients in order for the ecosystem to function properly [11]. The study focused on effects of human activity on ecosystems and to evaluate how well managed protective areas contribute to habitat conservation.…”

Ecosystems encompass a dynamic web of interactions between living organisms and their environment. This network includes everything from the smallest microorganisms to the largest mammals and landscape. Ecosystems provide vital services, such as clean air, water, nutrients, climate regulation, and other related things. However, human activities have significantly impacted these systems, leading to habitat destruction, species extinction and disruption in delicate ecological balances. Human population growth increased the conversion of natural ecosystems for agricultural, industrial, and residential purposes, as well as the demand for ecosystem inputs like freshwater, fibre, and soil fertility. It also placed strain on the ability of natural ecosystems to sustain human populations. Growing agricultural, engaging in illicit fishing and hunting, and unplanned activities greatly impacted it. Future generations may face risk of starvation, thirst, illness, and catastrophe if we continue to lose biodiversity. It directly and indirectly contributes to many aspects of human life, such as security, the necessities for a happy life, health, positive social interactions, and the freedom to make decisions and take action. The article focused on the effects of human activity on ecosystems and evaluated how well-managed processes contribute to habitat conservation, in order to better understand the importance of ecosystems on living beings in this planet.
