Environmental concerns have escalated in recent decades due to increasing human activities that lead to pollution, habitat destruction, climate change, and loss of biodiversity. Major environmental issues include air and water pollution, deforestation, soil degradation, and the depletion of natural resources. These challenges pose significant threats to ecosystems, human health, and global sustainability. In response, various global, regional, and local initiatives have been implemented to mitigate environmental degradation. These include international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, national policies promoting renewable energy and waste management, and local conservation programs. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based groups, and individuals also play critical roles in promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness. Technological advancements, environmental education, and stricter regulations are key drivers for protecting natural ecosystems. This paper discusses the primary environmental concerns, analyzes current protective measures, and explores innovative strategies to enhance environmental sustainability for future generations.
