Anthropogenic impacts refer to the effects of human activities on the environment and ecosystems. These impacts can include pollution, deforestation, habitat destruction, overfishing, and climate change. Anthropogenic impacts are a major concern in environmental science and conservation biology, as they can have serious consequences for biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and human health. Researchers in this area study the causes and effects of anthropogenic impacts, as well as potential solutions for mitigating or reversing their negative effects. By understanding and addressing anthropogenic impacts, researchers aim to promote sustainable practices and protect the planet for future generations.
