Human impact research focuses on understanding how human activities have affected natural systems, such as ecosystems, biodiversity, climate, and water resources. This area of study examines the various ways in which humans have altered the environment, including deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. Researchers in this field aim to identify and quantify the impacts of human activities on the environment, as well as develop strategies for mitigating and adapting to these impacts in order to promote sustainable development and conservation of natural resources.
