In this article, aspects related to deforestation, fires, urbanization, large-scale agriculture, extensive livestock farming, pollution and climatic changes are discussed regarding their influence on the epidemiology of skin diseases. It is important that dermatologists be aware of their social ...
Over-consumption by humans is primarily to blame, particularly deforestation and agricultural expansion–Niall McCarthy, Data Journalist. I’ve reported on this issue in many posts over the past few years. In fact, most of my posts are related. Like the rest of the world’s citizens concerned...
due to its direct link in supplying the raw materials necessary for a wide range of inputs and consumables required in agriculture. Improved crop yields support a reduction in deforestation—currently responsible for 20% of total global greenhouse gas emissionsOpens in a new window. Of the six ...
Another perspective on the impact of urbanization on social inequality is the environmental perspective. Urbanization leads to increased pollution, deforestation, andother environmental problems, which disproportionately affect the poor.

How does deforestation affect sustainability? What are the benefits of environmental sustainability? Why is ecological sustainability important? Why is environmental sustainability important? How can recycling materials lead to environmental sustainability?
Continued anthropogenic removal of riparian and watershed vegetation due to increased urbanization, deforestation, aridification and pollution could revert streams to pre-vegetation functioning, thereby increasing their channel and sediment mobility. Future research can use this framework to constrain the pace...
Deforestation over the last 2000–3000 years was probably not a linear process in Ethiopia. Studies on land use and land cover change show, however, a tendency over the last decades of increasing removal of remnant vegetation, which is slowed down or reversed in northern Ethiopia by a set-...
On the other hand, the production and disposal of electronic waste, deforestation for the extraction of raw materials, and the depletion of water resources for manufacturing processes have all taken a toll on the environment. Conclusion In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on society...
where activities such as agriculture, mining, and deforestation significantly contribute to their ecological footprint [22]. The overall ecological footprints of these countries grow due to this consumption to levels showing that they have expanded substantially, signaling an unsustainable reliance on natur...
