Effects of Land Use and Pollution on Environment and Biodiversity

The video discusses the impact of human activities on the environment, focusing on waste management and land use. It highlights how population growth and industrialization have increased resource consumption and pollution, affecting biodiversity. The video explores four main land uses: infrastructure, farming, quarrying, and waste disposal, and their environmental impacts. It also covers different types of pollution—land, water, and air—and their effects. Finally, it suggests ways to reduce pollution by managing waste and using resources efficiently.
