Addressing Environmental Degradation: A Solutions-Based Project

This project addresses the escalating issue of environmental degradation, emphasizing the urgent need to shift focus from solely preventing pollution to actively mitigating its existing effects on ecosystems, flora, and fauna. It highlights the shortcomings of current environmental policies and underscores the importance of practical implementation over theoretical frameworks. The project identifies the core problem as a lack of public interest in taking individual responsibility, leading to low participation in addressing environmental concerns. It proposes solutions such as environmental guardianship, empowering advocates, and promoting practical intervention and participation. The project advocates for a change in perception, urging communities to work together and hold individuals accountable. The conclusion stresses the importance of educating future generations and implementing legal frameworks alongside practical actions to safeguard the environment against human encroachment, pollution, and degradation. Graphics are included to visually represent the project's key points.

TITLE:
BACKGROUND ON ISSUE:
The past few decades have seen an increase in the hue and cry over global warming, pollution and environment Degradation but more emphasis
has been placed on how to prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution without considering the effects it is already having on the environment, flora and
fauna. While governments and policymakers create new ESA policies and debate over how to carbon emissions and “if humans” are responsible
for global warming serious environmental damage continues as a direct result of human encroachment, industry, and pollution.
DEFINITION OF PROBLEM:
Despite there being an increase in awareness regarding Environmental awareness, the environment continued see major concerns which go
unattended. This is due to stakeholders and the public mainly focusing on policy and how to prevent environmental threats such as pollution which
leaves delicate ecosystems susceptible to continued attack. With most focus being placed on the effects of carbons emission on the environment,
public health and global warming, little time and money is being invested to highlight major concerns playing out on the ecosystems. It is important
to divert our attention from carbon emission and begin focusing on ways to address environmental issues as a whole since many ecosystems
continue to experience major threats and dangers despite theory being environment policies in place.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
Environment degradation continued to happen on a daily basis despite their being policies developed to address the issues. This means solutions
are not linked to policy development but rather policy implementation and practice whereby each individual, community, and government has to be
encouraged to be self-aware and act rather than depend on the next person.
• Environmental Guardianship - Venerable environments, ecosystems, flora, and fauna all require having guardians who can represent
them and protect them. Individuals will the best knowledge, experience and living in the locality must act and be classified as guardians
and protectors of the environment and ecosystems.
• Empower Advocators - The government also needs to put in place policy, acknowledge and empower Environmental advocators who
would act as the environment legal representatives and protectors. It’s also important to turn more attention towards practical
implementation rather than only having politics which continually go addressed.
• Practical Intervention - Today curbing carbon emission has become a common synonym every person known but practical implementation
is well below the required levels. The public, community, and government must turn their attention towards addressing environmental
concerns as opposed to simply publicizing them.

• Practical Participation - intervention continues to register all-time lows with commerce and final gain and lake of interest leading the public
and communities o directly ignore environmental disasters despite them unfolding in front of their eyes.
ONE SOLUTION:
The Main concern linked to the environmental issues being observed globally is the lack of public interest towards practical implementation where
each person expects the next to abide by the environmental policy yet they are breaching the code of conduct. This results in less than 10% of the
population actually addressing environmental issues which are well below the number required to attract sustainable environmental. This makes it
critical for every community to now change their perception regarding environmental issues and work together to resolve the problems. Let’s not
wait for the next person to act and begin acting ourselves. It’s also important to highlight people who breach the code since many are defiant and
will ignore environmental policies despite them being publicized. The environment is helpless and we must advocate and address concerns failure
of which the environment will simply experience degradation and damage. We must also remain aware regarding our surrounding rather than
focus on a specific area which will deliver an overall solution to the issue.
CONCLUSION:
The Environment continues to see increasing pressure from human activity through encroachment, pollution and degradation thus it’s important to
prepare the future generations so as to avoid this issue. Lack of education, and practical implementation and the desire towards financial gain are
major causes of the environmental issues being experienced across the globe today. To address this issue each person’s community and the
government's perception and way of thinking must change and focus towards addressing environmental issues and protections to reduce the
pressure. Legal frameworks are important but the involvement of practical implementers is also critical is also critical towards safeguarding and
protecting the environment for future generations.
