The Incompatibility of Humans and Nature: Biome-Specific Challenges

This essay examines the challenges that make it impossible for humans to live harmoniously with nature, focusing on the inherent difficulties of interacting with natural biomes. It discusses the extreme conditions found in desert biomes, such as the Sahara, including high temperatures, sandstorms, and dangerous wildlife, which pose significant threats to human survival. Similarly, grassland biomes present challenges such as wildfires and encounters with deadly animals. The essay concludes that the survival of humans in nature is exceedingly difficult due to these biome-specific factors, making it an impossible endeavor that can lead to death in lethal environments.

INTRODUCTION
Today’s environment says that people are not able to stay in nature. There are many
reasons which will discuss in this report. One of the important reasons is that people are become
inhabitant to technologies which results in destroying of nature. In order to more understand this
statement, this report will discuss natural biomes. Natural Biomes include aquatic, grassland,
forest, desert, and tundra. This report will discuss some biomes such as desserts of Africa,
Grasslands of North and South America and arctic tundras are examples of bio-geographical
units possesses intense biological and geographical characteristics which are not faced by most
of human population. Mortal dangers can affect the living conditions of humans in nature
(Menton and Le Billon, 2021). The harsh conditions of biome make them incompatible to human
survival and impossible for humans to live in nature. In this essay the challenges faced by
humans when living in nature which make it impossible endeavour are explained.
MAIN BODY
Modern life is found to be get disconnected from nature. In the changing time, it is found
that every day the connection of humans with nature is disconnected. One of the important
reasons is the modern lifestyle. The trend of urbanization is continuously growing and makes
people pressurize to disconnect from nature. It becomes the need of the people because of they
are staying with nature then they will not able to stand with today’s environment and other types
of enjoyment. For example, modern lifestyle includes parties, clubs, big buildings, restaurants,
etc. people can enjoy these entitlements only when they get disconnected from nature. In
addition to this, people are facing many challenges in staying with nature. This can be
understood with the discussions of different biomes. Today’s environment says that people
should live with standards and that becomes one of the main reasons to disconnect with nature.
Biomes are referring to large area which is characterised on the basis of vegetation,
wildlife, climate, and soil. Living with these biomes is found to be difficult for the human as they
will face many difficulties. Human survival in natural wilderness is extremely challenging,
specifically dessert biomes. The different reason are dry environment, little rainfall and high
amount of evaporation due to heat makes the dessert biome difficult for human survival. The
example of this biome is Sahara Desert. The Sahara dessert is one of the largest and extreme
dessert biomes. In summer, the temperature in the Sahara Desert can go higher than 40 degree
Celsius, which can cause death and illnesses to humans. There has been report of 40 travellers
3

dying of thirst in the Sahara Desert in Northern Niger in 2017 after their vehicle broke down
(Over 40 people 'die of thirst' in Sahara Desert, 2017). Similarly, sandstorms in dessert biomes
increase survival challenges. On average, an astonishing 182 million tons of dust departs from
the western Sahara (A Giant Dust Storm Is Heading Across the Atlantic, 2020). The lack of
inhabitants and proper healthcare in the Sahara region make it impossible place for human
survival. On the other hand, dessert biomes such as Sahara have lions, leopards, pythons, hyenas,
servals and jackals in terms of deadly wildlife (Agha and et. al., 2018). Due to these problems, it
is analysed that people are not able to stay with the different biomes. This biomes shows that
why humans are not able to stay with nature.
For more clarity, grassland biomes are also necessary to discuss as it helps the researcher
to understand that why it becomes difficult for the human to stay in nature. Grassland biomes are
found to be the open area that are dominated by a warm, grass and a dry climate. It also causes
many natural disasters which makes very difficult to stay in nature. Living in natural biomes is
challenging for most humans because of threat posed by natural disasters which often occurs in
nature. For example, the grassland biome is prone to wild fires because it comprises of open
grassy areas. Comanche, which is one of the largest grassland regions of USA, suffered wildfires
leading to loss of 2000 acres in July 2022 resulting in loss of vegetation and death of animals
(More than 2,000 acres burn in four Comanche County wildfires, 2022). Extreme environmental
conditions in natural biomes lead to regular natural disasters, making human survival impossible
in nature. Humans face the danger of running into deadly animals when living in nature. In case
of American Grasslands, Mountain Lions, Black Bears and Alligators can disrupt human survival
in nature. Encounters with deadly wildlife in nature, infestation of invasive wildlife in houses,
disturbances caused by wildlife in daily activates heighten challenges for survival of humans in
wildlife. Therefore, it is impossible for humans to live in nature.

CONCLUSION
From the above information, it is determined that humans living in nature is enormously
difficult because of inherent challenges of interacting with natural biomes. This report discussed
two biomes such as dessert and grassland. Dessert biomes are challenging for human living
because of extreme temperatures, predators, animal interference, low human population and
infrastructure for survival along with natural conditions such as huge sandstorms. At the same
time, grassland biomes threaten human living because of deadly animal encounter and massive
wildfires causing vegetation damage essential for human survival. Therefore, survival of human
in nature is impossible event and can lead to death of individuals if it is tried in lethal biomes
such as desserts and grasslands.
