Study Notes
How do humans impact the natural world?
- Humans have harvested natural resources for thousands of years.
- A healthy environment is characterized by different values and viewpoints, healthy characteristics, and environmental changes.
- Humans develop and manage natural resources through various factors, values, and viewpoints.
- Balancing human needs with environmental responsibility is crucial.
- Learning skills, such as communication, reflection, critical, and creative thinking are essential.
What are the characteristics of a healthy environment?
- A healthy environment consists of a variety of species, each fulfilling a specific role in the ecosystem's balance.
- Interactions between different species are crucial, regulating populations.
- Biodiversity, meaning variety, is essential for ecosystem health and stability.
- This variety helps species adapt to changing environmental conditions effectively.
How does the environment change?
- Natural changes occur, such as seasonal changes, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions.
- Ecosystems have processes that allow for recovery and adaptation.
- Natural changes like hibernation, seed dispersal, and species dispersal can help populations recover.
- These changes are often necessary.
How do humans develop and manage natural resources?
- Humans rely on natural resources for survival and advancement.
- Types of resources include water, fossil fuels, plants, animals, rocks, soil, and minerals
- Resources can be renewable (e.g., water)or non-renewable (e.g., fossil fuels)
- Extracting, processing, and using resources affect the environment.
- Ethical, political, economic, and cultural influences impact resource management.
What different values and viewpoints on the environment do people have?
- People have diverse opinions about their relationship with nature and natural resources.
- Beliefs about a healthy environment and using natural resources differ greatly.
- These diverse viewpoints should be considered when developing solutions and making choices.
- Different value systems, such as technocentric, ecocentric, and anthropocentric perspectives impact decision-making.
