The provided course is an Environmental Studies – Program, which offers a comprehensive overview of fundamental ecological and environmental concepts. The source begins by defining the environment and its constituents (physical, biological, and cultural elements), before exploring the relationship between man and environment through approaches like determinism, possibilism, and the ecological perspective. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to ecosystem function, detailing the food chain, food web, and ecological pyramids based on biomass, numbers, and energy flow, along with an explanation of biogeochemical cycles. Furthermore, the guide thoroughly examines natural resources (water, mineral, land, and energy), classifying them by origin and stock, and discusses critical environmental challenges such as biodiversity threats and conservation, various forms of pollution and control (air, water, noise, and soil), and global environmental problems like climate change and ozone depletion. Finally, it addresses the framework for tackling these issues through international protocols and policy and legislation, concluding with a vision towards a sustainable future.
Environmental Studies Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
