The definition of “sustainability” is the study of how natural systems function, remain diverse and produce everything it needs for the ecology to remain in balance. It also acknowledges that human civilisation takes resources to sustain our modern way of life. There are instances throughout human history where a civilisation has damaged its own environment and seriously affected its own survival chances through reckless usage of its natural resources. It is vital how we can live in harmony with the natural world around us, protecting it from damage and destruction by keeping three things in mind, which are economic developement, social development and environmental protection.
Biodiversity hotspots refers to those regions on earth which exhibit rich variance in biodiversity. These are mainly around 40 degrees north and south of the equator.
