The impact of human activity on the environment from "summary" of The Geography of Hope by Chris Turner
Human activity has had a profound effect on the environment, shaping the landscapes and ecosystems that surround us. From the clearing of forests for agriculture to the burning of fossil fuels for energy, our actions have left a lasting mark on the planet.
