Definition of Environment

Environment encompasses external conditions affecting the growth and development of all living organisms, including humans, animals, and plants.
Comprises both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components.

Biotic and Abiotic Components

Biotic Components: Include organisms such as trees, birds, insects, animals, and humans.
Abiotic Components: Consist of non-living elements like air, water, land, sunlight, mountains, rivers, and oceans.

Understanding the Environment

Environment consists of various elements around us, such as people, nature (trees, grass), and physical aspects (land, water).
Biotic components interact with each other and with abiotic components to ensure their survival and existence.

Scope of Environmental Studies

Environmental science develops a comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary approaches to solve environmental issues.
Focus areas include natural resources management, ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity conservation, pollution control, and the relationship between social issues and the environment.
The discipline promotes sustainable development by organizing educated communities and engaging experts in addressing environmental challenges.

Need for Environmental Studies

Emphasizes international significance of environmental issues.
Addresses problems arising from rapid development and associated pollution levels.
Highlights the necessity for alternative solutions and strategies to preserve humanity's future.
Stresses the importance of wise development planning to achieve sustainable development goals.
