The Impact of Human Life on the Destruction of the Environment

Ali Mahmoudpou*

In this article, the historical role of humans in interacting with the plant, animal and climatic environment is briefly examined and the growing process of environmental destruction and transformation in parallel with the advancement of technology and population increase is analysed. In prehistoric times, it refers to the genetics and innate instincts of other creatures that have lived on earth millions of years ago according to instinctive behaviours and played their role in the food chain and maintaining the ecosystem. The relative stability of natural landscapes in the absence of early humans and their gradual deterioration parallel to the expansion of human civilizations is the main topic of discussion. The effects of environmental destruction in all eras indicate the totalitarianism, competition and power-seeking of humans compared to wildlife, each of which is satisfied with its sustenance and share. Disrupting the natural circulation of the ecosystem for all the inhabitants of the planet is caused by abnormal human behaviours, which have been increased significantly in the last two centuries. The progress of science and the expansion of industrial societies, by changing habits and lifestyles and making consumers dependent on industrial goods, create consequences that impose negative and irreparable effects on the environment and all its inhabitants and creatures.
