Environmental sciences, a multidisciplinary field of study, encompasses a wide range of natural, social, and physical sciences to understand and protect the natural environment. There are several synonymous terms that are used interchangeably to describe the study of environmental sciences, such as environmental studies, ecology, environmental biology, environmental chemistry, and environmental engineering, among others. The discipline involves a holistic approach, examining the relationships between natural ecosystems and human societies, analyzing the impact of human activity on the environment, and proposing solutions to mitigate the impact of human activity on natural resources. It is a crucial field as environmental challenges such as climate change, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity continue to be a growing concern globally.
