The environment contains two types of elements. Man-made elements include:
Air and water.
Plants and animals.

The first major international summit on the environment.
The Kyoto Protocol
The Stockholm Conference
An international summit
The Montreal Protocol
We extract rocks and minerals from the earth to:
move around
have access to water
get food
obtain raw materials
This happens when we consume natural resources more quickly than they are naturally replenished.
air pollution
overexploitation
deforestation
sustainable development
These have the highest level of protection.
Nature reserves
National parks
Natural parks
We plant crops to:
move around
have access to water
obtain raw materials
get food
Respecting the environment:
deforestation
sustainable development
overexploitation
air pollution
To protect landscapes, to recover damaged landscapes, and to prevent damage to landscapes are examples of:
The three objectives of the environmental laws
We build reservoirs to:
move around
obtain raw materials
have access to water
get food
This includes pesticides and fertilizers from agriculture, industrial waste and rubbish.

This is industrial waste, oil leaks and wastewater from urban areas.
