Open in App
Solution

There is an interrelationship between humans and the environment which means humans and the environment are interconnected. The existence of humans is not possible without striking a balance with the environment. Humans developed ways to use these natural resources for their existence, however, when these needs turned into greed, it resulted in over-exploitation of resources. Overexploitation of resources by humans have threatened the existence of other species as well, resulting in their extinction. Various problems like global warming, changed weather patterns, water scarcity, etc. are results of human activities. These problems highlight the fact that how important is the role of humans with respect to the environment. If human activities are controlled and an effort is made to make harmony with nature, it is most probable we can revert these environmental changes and if we fail to do so, it could have devastating effects.
