Abstract

With the rapid increase of human population throughout the world, many environmental problems such as climate change, global warming, pollution, loss of biodiversity, ecosystem have been increased causing a recent global crisis of Covid 19 disease by a novel virus SARS-COV-2. There are other problems also created by human is the more and more demand of natural resources such as water, fuels, food, energy and excessive use of land disturbing the biodiversity and ecosystem of the planet. The tremendous growth of human population since the dawn of civilization is 2 the main cause of these problems leading to the degradation of biodiversity and conversion of ecosystems to food production. Anthropogenic ecosystems in urban areas both the abiotic and biotic conditions by converting undeveloped land into anthropocentric habitats. The increase in urbanisation in more and more areas through construction of high-rise buildings, communication towers, high ways, bridges and fly over are detriment to biodiversity and wild life species. The physical elements of the ecosystem such as climate, water and soil are mainly modified by human activities leading to the changes in biodiversity and ecosystem of the planet causing major changes in the habitat of wild animals.
