I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to
my teacher Shailesh Mishra ,who gave me the golden
opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic
Importance of Environmental Studies which also helped
me in doing a lot of Research and i came to know about
so many new things I am really thankful to them.
Secondly i would also like to thank my parents and
friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this project
within the limited time frame.
What is Environment?
 The environment can be defined as a sum total of
all the living and non-living elements and their
effects which influence human life. While all
living or biotic elements are animals, plants,
forests, fisheries, and birds, etc. The non-living or
abiotic elements include water, land, sunlight,
rocks, and air, etc.
What is environmental studies?
 Environmental studies is an interdisciplinary subject
examining the interplay between the social, legal,
management, and scientific aspects of environmental
issues. Interdisciplinary means that issues are
examined from multiple perspectives. Unlike
environmental science, which focuses mainly on the
scientific component of these environmental issues,
environmental studies investigates the scientific and
the humanitarian aspects. Students of environmental
studies learn the causes, effects, and possible solutions
to address important environmental problems.
Environmental Issues
 Let's consider the 2014 drought in California. From a scientific
perspective, we know that the entire state is facing drought conditions due
to low amounts of rain and snowfall over the past few years. In addition,
growing populations and agriculture businesses have further strained the
decreasing water supply. Economically, this drought is creating large
stresses to the extensive agricultural communities in California, who rely
on water to irrigate their crops. From a social viewpoint, several
communities have faced dwindling water supplies, which have prompted
government officials to place restrictions on water use and develop relief
efforts to supply water to those in need.
 This example of the drought in California shows the importance of an

interdisciplinary approach in understanding and resolving environmental
issues. The drought is caused by a combination of natural (low rainfall),
social (growing population), and economic (farming) causes.
Why study Environmental
Studies?
 Our environment is very important to us because it is
where we live and share resources with other species.
 Environmental science is the study of interactions

among the physical, chemical and biological
components of the environment. It enlightens us on
how to conserve our environment in the face of
increasing human population growth and
anthropogenic activities that degrade natural
resources and ecosystems.
Importance of
Environmental Studies
 To Realize That Environmental Problems are Global
 To Understand the Impacts of Development on the
Environment
 To Discover Sustainable Ways of Living
 To Utilize Natural Resources Efficiently
 To Shed Light on Contemporary Concepts Such as
How to Conserve Biodiversity
 To Learn and Create Awareness About Environmental
Problems at Local, National and International Levels
To Realize That Environmental Problems
are Global
 Environmental science lets you recognize that
environmental problems such as climate change,
global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rains,
and impacts on biodiversity and marine life are not
just national problems, but global problems as
well. So, concerted effort from across the world is
needed to tackle these problems.
To Understand the Impacts of
Development on the Environment
 It’s well documented and quantified that
development results in Industrial growth,
urbanization, expansion of telecommunication and
transport systems, hi-tech agriculture, and
expansion of housing.
 The goal is to achieve all this sustainably without
compromising the future generation’s ability to
satisfy their own needs.
To Discover Sustainable
Ways of Living
 Environmental science is more concerned with
discovering ways to live more sustainably. This
means utilizing present resources in a manner that
conserves their supplies for the future.
 Environmental sustainability doesn’t have to

outlaw living luxuriously, but it advocates for
creating awareness about the consumption of
resources and minimizing unnecessary waste.
To Utilize Natural
Resources Efficiently
 Natural resources bring a whole lot of benefits to a
country. A country’s natural resources may not be
utilized efficiently because of low-level training
and a lack of management skills
To Shed Light on Contemporary
Concepts Such as How to
Conserve Biodiversity
 Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth. The

present rate of biodiversity loss is at an all-time
high. Environmental science aims to teach people
how to reverse this trend
To Learn and Create Awareness About
Environmental Problems at Local,
National and International Levels
 Environmental problems at local, national, and
international levels mostly occur due to lack of
awareness. Environmental science aims to educate
and equip learners with the necessary
environmental skills to pass to the community in
order to create awareness.
Conclusion
 Environmental science is called a
multidisciplinary as it brings about an interaction
between our natural world and living organism.
 It deals with various environmental problems
associated with Life Sciences, Physical Science,
technology etc.
 Ecosystem is an important part of environment
which describes the correlation between the living
and non living things in environment.
