Environmental Decline; Identifying Dimensions and Repercussions

Abstract

Quest for development has shifted man's focus and intentions from 'nature' to 'needs'. Need fulfillment has away with the obligation of protecting and maintaining the nature and it composites. In the race for development, communities and region have out rightly targeted the natural environment as a source of it. Either the environmental resources are destroyed and used for economic growth and development; or they are used for biotechnological intervention to create modified breeds of consumable goods/medicines/other products, the use of which is further a threat for human's wellbeing. Development and Globalization can be largely linked with each other in context of environmental degradation as well as its protection. Sustainable development is of the most desired form of development of today's time. In response to it, globalization process has forwarded multiple strategies for protecting environment on an international level. A global climate region is aimed at to be created for the purpose of environmental maintenance, management and protection. The world over spread quest and demand for sustainability in developmental process cannot be achieved until the environmental purposed are entailed and incorporated in the mindset of the common masses as well that of the administrators. The academia today holds this major onus of doing a rigorous ecological research and establishing the hidden and un-surfaced linkage between human life and environmental degradation. The present paper has been written with the same perspective.
