The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, or factors that affect the development and functioning of living organisms, communities, and ecosystems. It encompasses both the natural world, including air, water, soil, flora, and fauna, as well as the built environment created by humans, such as cities, infrastructure, and cultural elements. The environment includes all living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components and their interactions. It plays a crucial role in shaping ecological processes and biodiversity. Additionally, the term encompasses the broader context of how these components impact human life, societal development, and the health of the planet. Environmental concerns often relate to sustainability, conservation, and the effects of human activity on natural systems.
