Environment

The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, and factors that affect the life and development of organisms. It encompasses both natural elements, such as air, water, land, and ecosystems, as well as human-made elements, including urban settings and social structures. The environment plays a crucial role in shaping the behavior, health, and survival of living beings.
