environmental degradation and feedback loops
Environmental degradation refers to the deterioration of the environment due to harmful human activities, resulting in the depletion or destruction of natural resources, the loss of biodiversity, and the deterioration of ecological systems and quality of life. Feedback loops in the context of environmental degradation refer to the self-reinforcing mechanisms that exacerbate the negative impact on the environment. These loops occur when the effects of an action lead to additional consequences that amplify the initial problem, creating a vicious cycle and making it difficult to reverse the damage.
