Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment

The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (also
known as the Stockholm Conference) was an international
conference convened under United Nations auspices held in
Stockholm Sweden, from June 5-16,1972.

It was the UN's first major conference on international environmental
issues, and marked a turning point in the development of
international environmental politics.


It is widely recognized as the beginning of modern political and
public awareness of global environmental problems.

The meeting agreed upon a Declaration containing 26 principles
concerning the environment and development; an Action Plan with
109 recommendations, and a Resolution.
Two issue were addresses :
1. The use of CFCs (haloalkanes), which seemed to be responsible for
   the depletion of the ozone layer.


2. Global warming was mentioned.


1. Apart from increasing awareness of environmental issues among
   public and governments (for example, many governments
   subsequently created :
-   Ministries for the Environment and/or national agencies for
    environmental monitoring and regulation)
-    the Stockholm Conference laid framework for future environmental
    cooperation; led to the creation of global and regional
    environmental monitoring networks and the creation of the
    United Nations Environment Programme.
United Nations Environment Programme


The UN Environment Programme (or UNEP) coordinates United Nations
environmental activities, assisting developing countries in implementing
environmentally sound policies and encourages sustainable development
through sound environmental practices.


It      was       founded        as     a      result      of     the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in June 1972 and is
headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya.

UNEP also has six regional offices and various country offices.

UNEP is the designated authority of the United Nations system in
UNEP activities cover a wide range of issues regarding the atmosphere,
marine and terrestrial ecosystems.


Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that
is retained by the Earth's gravity.


It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95%
oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other
gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. This
mixture of gases is commonly known as air.


The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet
solar radiation and reducing international environmental conventions,
promoting environmental science temperature extremes between day and
night.
Atmospheric gases scatter blue light more than other wavelengths, giving
the Earth a blue halo when seen from space.

Chernobyl disaster

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear reactor             accident   in   the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union.

 It was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and the only
instance so far of level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale,

resulting in a severe release of radioactivity into the environment
following a massive power excursion which destroyed the reactor.

Thirty people died in the explosion, but most deaths from the accident
were attributed to fallout

On 26 April 1986 at 01:23:44 a.m. (UTC+3) reactor number four at the
Chernobyl plant, near Pripyat in the Ukrainian SSR, exploded.

Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly
radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive
geographical area.

Nearly thirty to forty times more fallout was released than had been by the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The plume drifted over extensive parts of the western Soviet Union,
Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and eastern
North America.


Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated,
resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people.
According to official post-Soviet data,[2] about 60% of the radioactive
fallout landed in Belarus.


The 2005 report prepared by the Chernobyl Forum, led by the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and
World Health Organization (WHO),
attributed 56 direct deaths (47 accident workers, and nine children with
thyroid cancer),
and estimated that there may be 4,000 extra cancer cases among the
approximately 600,000 most highly exposed and 5,000 among the 6
million living nearby.

The Bhopal disaster

The Bhopal disaster was an industrial disaster that occurred in the city of
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, resulting in the immediate deaths of more
than 3,000 people, according to the Indian Supreme Court.

A more probable figure is that 8,000 died within two weeks, and it is
estimated that the same number have since died from gas related diseases.

However, testimonies from doctors who provided medical assistance during
the tragedy claim over 15,000 were dead in the first month and approximately
20,000 in total.


The incident took place in the early hours of the morning of December 3,
1984, in the heart of the city of Bhopal in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

A Union Carbide subsidiary pesticide plant released 40 tonnes of
methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, killing approximately 3,800 people instantly.
The Bhopal disaster is frequently cited as the world's worst industrial disaster
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The Fat Man mushroom cloud resulting from the nuclear explosion
over Nagasaki rises 18 km (11 mi, 60,000 ft) into the air from the
hypocenter.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks
at the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the
United States at the order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman on
August 6 and 9, 1945.


After six months of intense firebombing of 67 other Japanese cities,
the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima
on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of
the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki.
The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000
in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, roughly half on the days of the
bombings.


 Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness
attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs.

In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians.

Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan
announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the
Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the
Pacific War and therefore World War II.

(Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the
war in Europe.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting
Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear
armament.[4]

Defination of Environment

The term environment means which surrounding around us and is
considered as composite term for the condition in which organism
live.

Environment is the sum total of all social, economical, biological,
physical ad chemical factor which constitute the surrounding of the
man who is both the creator and moulder of the environment.


As we look around at the area in which we live, we see that our
surroundings were originally a natural landscape such as a

•Forest
• a river
• a mountain
• a desert,
• or a combination of these elements.
Most of us live in landscapes that have been heavily modified by human
beings, in villages, towns or cities.

But even those of us who live in cities get our food supply from Surrounding
villages and these in turn are dependent on natural landscapes such as

•Forests
•Grasslands
• rivers, seashores,
• for resources such as water for agriculture
•fuel wood, fodder, and fish.


Thus our daily lives are linked with our surroundings and inevitably affects
them.

We use water to drink and for other day-to-day activities.

We breathe air
we use resources which food is made and we depend on the community of
living plants and animals which form a web of life, of which we are also a part.
Everything around us forms our environment and our lives depend on keeping
its vital systems as intact as possible.

Our dependence on nature is so great that we cannot continue to live without
protecting the earth’s environmental resources.

Thus most traditions refer to our environment as ‘Mother Nature’ and most
traditional societies have learned that respecting nature is vital for their
livelihoods.

This has led to many cultural practices that helped traditional societies protect
and preserve their natural resources.

Respect for nature and all living creatures is not new to India
All our traditions are based on these values.

Emperor Ashoka’s edict proclaimed that all forms of life are important for
our well being in Fourth Century BC.

Over the past 200 years however, modern societies began to believe that
easy answers to the question of producing more resources could be
provided by means of technological innovations.

For example, though growing more food by using fertilizers and
pesticides, developing better strains of domestic animals and crops,
irrigating farmland through mega dams and developing industry, led to
rapid economic growth, the ill effects of this type of development, led to
environmental degradation.
The industrial development and intensive agriculture that provides the
goods for our increasingly consumer oriented society uses up large
amounts of natural resources such as water, minerals, petroleum products,
wood, etc.


Nonrenewable resources, such as minerals and oil are those which will be
exhausted in the future if we continue to extract these without a thought for
subsequent generations.

Renewable resources, such as timber and water, are those which can be
used but can be regenerated by natural processes such as re-growth or
rainfall.
But these too will be depleted if we continue to use them faster than nature
can re-place them.

For example, if the removal of timber and firewood from a forest is faster
than the re growth and regeneration of trees, it can-not replenish the
supply.

And loss of forest cover not only depletes the forest of its resources, such
as timber and other non-wood products, but affect our water resources
because an intact natural forest acts like a sponge which holds water and
releases it slowly.
Deforestation leads to floods in the monsoon and dry rivers once the rains
are over.

Understanding and making ourselves more aware of our environmental
assets and problems is not enough.

We, each one of us, must become increasingly concerned about our envi-
ronment and change the way in which we use every resource.

Unsustainable utilization can result from overuse of resources, because of
population increase, and because many of us are using more resources than
we really need.

Most of us indulge in wasteful behavior patterns without ever thinking about
their environmental impacts.
Thus, for all our actions to be environmentally positive we need to look from
a new perspective at how we use resources.

Importance of Environment

Environment is not a single subject.

It is an integration of several subjects that include both Science and Social
Studies.

To understand all the different aspects of our environment we need to
understand
- biology, chemistry
-physics, geography,
-resource management, economics
-and population issues.

Thus the scope of envi-ronmental studies is extremely wide and covers some
aspects of nearly every major discipline.
We live in a world in which natural resources are limited.


Water, air, soil, minerals, oil, the products we get from forests,
grasslands, oceans and from agriculture and livestock, are all a
part of our life support systems.


Without them, life itself would be impossible.


As we keep increasing in numbers and the quantity of resources
each of us uses also increases, the earth’s re- source base must
inevitably shrink.
The earth cannot be expected to sustain this expanding level of utilization of
resources.


We waste or pollute large amounts of nature’s clean water; we create more
and more material like plastic that we dis-card after a single use.


Increasing amounts of waste cannot be managed by natural processes.


These accumulate in our environment, leading to a variety of diseases and
other adverse environmental impacts now seriously affecting all our lives.
Air pollution leads to respiratory diseases, water pollution to gastro-intestinal
diseases, and many pollutants are known to cause cancer.

Improving this situation will only happen if each of us begins to take actions in
our daily lives that will help preserve our environmental resources.

We cannot expect Governments alone to manage the safeguarding of the
environment, nor can we expect other people to prevent environmental
damage.

We need to do it ourselves.

It is a responsibility that each of us must take on as
Aesthetic/Recreational value of nature:

The aesthetic and recreational values that nature possesses
enlivens our existence on earth.

This is created by developing National Parks and Wildlife
Sanctuaries in relatively undisturbed areas.

The beauty of nature encompasses every aspect of the living and
non-living part of our earth.

One can appreciate the magnificence of a mountain, the power of the
sea, the beauty of a forest, and the vast expanse of the desert.
NEED FOR PUBLIC AWARENESS

As the earth’s natural resources are dwindling and our environment is
being increasingly degraded by human activities, it is evident that
something needs to be done.

Responsibility of Government:

We often feel that managing all this is something that the government
should do.

But if we go on endangering our environment, there is no way in which
the Government can perform all these clean-up functions.
•It is the prevention of environment degradation in which we must all
take part that must become a part of all our lives.

•Just as for any disease, prevention is better than cure.

•To prevent ill-effects on our environment by our actions, is
economically more viable than cleaning up the environment once it is
damaged.

•Individually we can play a major role in environment management.

•This can only be made possible through mass public awareness.

•Mass media such as newspa- pers, radio, television, strongly influence
public opinion.

•However, someone has to bring this about. If each of us feels strongly
about the environment, the
Practice and promote issues such as
-saving paper, saving water
-reducing use of plastics
-practicing the 3Rs principle of reduce, reuse, recycle,
-and proper waste disposal.

• Join local movements that support activities such as

-saving trees in your area
- go on nature treks,
-recycle waste
- buy environmentally friendly products.

• Practice and promote good civic              sense
-such as no spitting or tobacco chewing
- no throwing garbage on the road
-no smoking in public places
-No defecating in public places.

• Take part in events organized on World Environment Day, Wildlife Week, etc.

• Visit a National Park or Sanctuary, or spend time in whatever nature you have
near your home.
Institutions in Environment

There have been several Government and Non- government
organizations that have led to environmental protection in our country.

They have led to a growing interest in environmental protection and
conservation of nature and natural resources.

The traditional conservation practices that were part of ancient India’s
culture have however gradually disappeared


Among the large number of institutions that deal with environmental
protection and conservation, a few well-known organizations include
government organisations such as the BSI and ZSI, and NGOs such as
BNHS, WWF-I, etc.
Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS)

Mumbai: the BNHS began as a small society of six members in 1883.

The influence on wildlife policy building, research, popular publications and
peoples action have been unique features of the multifaceted society.

Undoubtedly its major contribution has been in the field of wildlife research.

It is India’s oldest conservation research based organization.
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-I), New Delhi:


The WWF-I was initiated in 1969 in Mumbai after which the
headquarters were shifted to Delhi with several branch offices all over
India.

The early years focused attention on wildlife education and
awareness.

It runs several programs including the Nature Clubs of India program
for school children and works as a think tank and lobby force for
environment and development issues.
Center for Science and Environment (CSE),New Delhi:

Activities of this Center include organizing campaigns, holding workshops
and conferences, and producing environment related publications.

It published a major document on the ‘State of India’s Environment’, the first
of its kind to be produced as a Citizen’s Report on the Environment.

The CSE also publishes a popular magazine, ‘Down to Earth’, which is a
Science and Environment fortnightly.

It is involved in the publication of material in the form of books, posters,
video films and also conducts workshops and seminars on biodiversity
related issues.
CPR Environmental Education Centre, Madras:

The CPR EEC was set up in 1988. It con-ducts a variety of programs to
spread environmental awareness and creates an interest in conservation
among the general public.

 It focussed attention on NGOs, teachers, women, youth and children to
generally promote conservation of nature and natural resources.


Centre for Environment Education (CEE), Ahmedabad:

The Centre for Environment Education, Ahmedabad was initiated in 1989.

It has a wide range of programs on the environment and produces a variety
of educational material.

CEE’s Training in Environment Education {TEE}program has trained many
environment educators.
Uttarkhand Seva Nidhi (UKSN), Almora:

The Organization is a Nodal Agency which supports NGOs in need of funds
for their environment related activities.

Its major program is organizing and training school teachers to use its locale
specific Environment Education Workbook Pro -gram.

The main targets are linked with sustain- able resource use at the village
level through training school children.

Its environment education program covers about 500 schools.

Kalpavriksh, Pune:

This NGO, initially Delhi based, is now working from Pune and is active in
several other parts of India.

 Kalpavriksh works on a variety of fronts: education and awareness;
investigation and research; direct action and lobbying; and litigation with
regard to environment and development issues. I
Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun:

This Institution was established in 1982, as a major training establishment for
Forest Officials and Research in Wildlife Management. Its most significant
publication has been ‘Planning A Wildlife Protected Area Network for
India’ (Rodgers and Panwar, 1988). The organization has over the years
added an enormous amount of information on India’s biological wealth

Botanical Survey of India (BSI):
The Botanical Survey of India (BSI) was established in 1890 at the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Calcutta. However it closed down for several years after
1939 and was reopened in 1954.

Zoological Survey of India (ZSI):
The ZSI was established in1916. Its mandate was to do a systematic survey
of fauna in India.

It has over the years collected ‘type specimens’ on the bases of which our
animal life has been studied over the years.

Its origins were collections based at the Indian Museum at Calcutta, which
was established in 1875.
People in Environment

There are several internationally known environmental thinkers. Among those
who have made landmarks, the names that are usually mentioned are Charles
Darwin, Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, John Muir, Aldo Leopald, Rachel
Carson and EO Wilson.


Each of these thinkers looked at the environment from a completely different
perspective.

Charles Darwin wrote the ‘Origin of Species’, which brought to light the close
relationship between habitats and species.

It brought about a new thinking of man’s relationship with other species that
was based on evolution.

Alfred Wallace came to the same conclusions during his work.
Ralph Emerson spoke of the dangers of commerce to our environment
way back in the 1840s.

Henry Thoreau in the 1860s wrote that the wilder ness should be
preserved after he lived in the wild for a year.

He felt that most people did not care for nature and would sell it off for a
small sum of money.

John Muir is remembered as having saved the great ancient sequoia trees
in California’a forests.

In the 1890s he formed the Sierra club, which is a major conservation NGO
in the USA.

Aldo Leopald was a forest official in the US in the 1920s. He designed the
early policies on wilderness conservation and wildlife management.
In the 1960s Rachel Carson published several articles that caused
immediate worldwide concern on the effects of pesticides on nature and
mankind.

She wrote a well known book called ‘Silent Spring’ which even led to a
change in Government policy and public awareness.

EO Wilson is an entomologist who envisioned that biological diversity was
a key to human survival on earth.

He wrote ‘Di-versity of Life’ in 1993, which was awarded a prize for the
best book published on environmental issues.

His writings brought home to the world the risks to mankind due to man
made disturbances in natural ecosystems that are leading to the rapid
extinction of species at the global level.
There have been a number of individuals who have been instrumental in
shaping the environmental history in our country.

Some of the wellknown names in the last century include environmentalists,
scientists, administrators, legal experts, educationists and journalists.

Salim Ali’s name is synonymous with ornithology in India and with the
Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS).

He also wrote several great books including the famous ‘Book of Indian
Birds’.

His autobiography, ‘Fall of a Sparrow’ should be read by every nature
enthusiast.

He was our      country’s leading conservation scientist and influenced
environmental policies in our country for over 50 years.
Indira Gandhi as PM has played a highly significant role in the
preservation of India’s wildlife.

It was during her period as PM, that the network of PAs grew from 65 to
298!

The Wildlife Protection Act was formulated during the period when she was
PM and the Indian Board for Wildlife was extremely active as she
personally chaired all its meetings.

S P Godrej was one of India’s greatest support-ers of wildlife conservation
and nature awareness programs.

M S Swaminathan is one of India’s foremost agricultural scientists and
has also been concerned with various aspects of biodiversity
conservation both of cultivars and wild biodiversity.

Madhav Gadgil is a well known ecologist in India..
M C Mehta is undoubtedly India’s most famous environmental lawyer.

His most famous and long drawn battles supported by the Supreme Court
include protecting the Taj Mahal,
cleaning up the Ganges River
 banning intensive shrimp farming on the coast,

initiating Government to implement environmental education in schools and
colleges, and a variety of other conservation issues.

Anil Agarwal was a journalist who wrote the first report on the ‘State of India’s
Environment’ in 1982.

He founded the Center for Science and Environment which is an active
NGO that supports various environ-mental issues.

Medha Patkar is known as one of India’s champions who has supported the
cause of downtrodden tribal people whose environment is being affected by
the dams on the Narmada river.
Sunderlal Bahugna’s Chipko Movement has become an internationally
well-known example of a highly successful conservation action program
through the efforts of local people for guarding their forest resources.

His fight to prevent the construction of the Tehri Dam in a fragile
earthquake prone setting is a battle that he continues to wage.
Environmental studies is the systematic study of human interaction with their
environment.

It is a broad field of study that includes the natural environment,
built environments, social environments, organizational environments, and the
sets of relationships between them.

Environmental studies is distinct from ecology and environmental science.

Current environmental problems have evolved into a complex set of
interdisciplinary issues involving ecological, political, economic, social, as well
as physical and biological considerations.

Modern environmental studies must include the study of the urban environment
as well as the natural environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL
   EDUCATION

    FOR
 SUSTAINABLE
 DEVELOPMENT
NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

•All major natural resources in the country are in grave danger of irreparable
   damage.

•A society cannot survive if its natural resources are rendered unfit for use by
   its people.

•The only hope of salvaging this grave situation is by making the young
   aware that they need to proactively begin to protect the environment they
   will inherit.

•Science and Technology can help in a limited way but cannot deliver it.

   •The moral and ethical education for changing people’s attitude

•To protect children living in polluted regions, environmental education
   represents a relevant means of prevention
•It is need for the hour to propose the environmental education with the
   essential elements of moral philosophy.

•For conceptual change


Essential components Of The environmental education

•Alerting the public to the need to achieve global sustainable development
   and the likely consequences of failing to do so.

•Focusing the educational curricula for global sustainable development by
   incorporating the know –how and skills and also the moral imperatives.

Environemntal studies unit 1

  • 1. Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (also known as the Stockholm Conference) was an international conference convened under United Nations auspices held in Stockholm Sweden, from June 5-16,1972. It was the UN's first major conference on international environmental issues, and marked a turning point in the development of international environmental politics. It is widely recognized as the beginning of modern political and public awareness of global environmental problems. The meeting agreed upon a Declaration containing 26 principles concerning the environment and development; an Action Plan with 109 recommendations, and a Resolution.
  • 2. Two issue were addresses : 1. The use of CFCs (haloalkanes), which seemed to be responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. 2. Global warming was mentioned. 1. Apart from increasing awareness of environmental issues among public and governments (for example, many governments subsequently created : - Ministries for the Environment and/or national agencies for environmental monitoring and regulation) - the Stockholm Conference laid framework for future environmental cooperation; led to the creation of global and regional environmental monitoring networks and the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme.
  • 3. United Nations Environment Programme The UN Environment Programme (or UNEP) coordinates United Nations environmental activities, assisting developing countries in implementing environmentally sound policies and encourages sustainable development through sound environmental practices. It was founded as a result of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in June 1972 and is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. UNEP also has six regional offices and various country offices. UNEP is the designated authority of the United Nations system in
  • 4. UNEP activities cover a wide range of issues regarding the atmosphere, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. This mixture of gases is commonly known as air. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing international environmental conventions, promoting environmental science temperature extremes between day and night.

  • 6. Atmospheric gases scatter blue light more than other wavelengths, giving the Earth a blue halo when seen from space.

  • 8. Chernobyl disaster The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear reactor accident in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union. It was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and the only instance so far of level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale, resulting in a severe release of radioactivity into the environment following a massive power excursion which destroyed the reactor. Thirty people died in the explosion, but most deaths from the accident were attributed to fallout On 26 April 1986 at 01:23:44 a.m. (UTC+3) reactor number four at the Chernobyl plant, near Pripyat in the Ukrainian SSR, exploded. Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area. Nearly thirty to forty times more fallout was released than had been by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
  • 9. The plume drifted over extensive parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and eastern North America. Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people. According to official post-Soviet data,[2] about 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus. The 2005 report prepared by the Chernobyl Forum, led by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and World Health Organization (WHO), attributed 56 direct deaths (47 accident workers, and nine children with thyroid cancer), and estimated that there may be 4,000 extra cancer cases among the approximately 600,000 most highly exposed and 5,000 among the 6 million living nearby.
  • 10. Chernobyl after the disaster. Reactor 4 (image center). Turbine building (image lower left). Reactor 3 (center right)
  • 11. The Bhopal disaster The Bhopal disaster was an industrial disaster that occurred in the city of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, resulting in the immediate deaths of more than 3,000 people, according to the Indian Supreme Court. A more probable figure is that 8,000 died within two weeks, and it is estimated that the same number have since died from gas related diseases. However, testimonies from doctors who provided medical assistance during the tragedy claim over 15,000 were dead in the first month and approximately 20,000 in total. The incident took place in the early hours of the morning of December 3, 1984, in the heart of the city of Bhopal in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. A Union Carbide subsidiary pesticide plant released 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, killing approximately 3,800 people instantly. The Bhopal disaster is frequently cited as the world's worst industrial disaster
  • 12.
  • 13. Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki The Fat Man mushroom cloud resulting from the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki rises 18 km (11 mi, 60,000 ft) into the air from the hypocenter. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks at the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States at the order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman on August 6 and 9, 1945. After six months of intense firebombing of 67 other Japanese cities, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki.
  • 14. The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, roughly half on the days of the bombings. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs. In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians. Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II. (Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear armament.[4]

  • 25. Defination of Environment The term environment means which surrounding around us and is considered as composite term for the condition in which organism live. Environment is the sum total of all social, economical, biological, physical ad chemical factor which constitute the surrounding of the man who is both the creator and moulder of the environment. As we look around at the area in which we live, we see that our surroundings were originally a natural landscape such as a •Forest • a river • a mountain • a desert, • or a combination of these elements.
  • 26. Most of us live in landscapes that have been heavily modified by human beings, in villages, towns or cities. But even those of us who live in cities get our food supply from Surrounding villages and these in turn are dependent on natural landscapes such as •Forests •Grasslands • rivers, seashores, • for resources such as water for agriculture •fuel wood, fodder, and fish. Thus our daily lives are linked with our surroundings and inevitably affects them. We use water to drink and for other day-to-day activities. We breathe air we use resources which food is made and we depend on the community of living plants and animals which form a web of life, of which we are also a part.
  • 27. Everything around us forms our environment and our lives depend on keeping its vital systems as intact as possible. Our dependence on nature is so great that we cannot continue to live without protecting the earth’s environmental resources. Thus most traditions refer to our environment as ‘Mother Nature’ and most traditional societies have learned that respecting nature is vital for their livelihoods. This has led to many cultural practices that helped traditional societies protect and preserve their natural resources. Respect for nature and all living creatures is not new to India
  • 28. All our traditions are based on these values. Emperor Ashoka’s edict proclaimed that all forms of life are important for our well being in Fourth Century BC. Over the past 200 years however, modern societies began to believe that easy answers to the question of producing more resources could be provided by means of technological innovations. For example, though growing more food by using fertilizers and pesticides, developing better strains of domestic animals and crops, irrigating farmland through mega dams and developing industry, led to rapid economic growth, the ill effects of this type of development, led to environmental degradation.
  • 29. The industrial development and intensive agriculture that provides the goods for our increasingly consumer oriented society uses up large amounts of natural resources such as water, minerals, petroleum products, wood, etc. Nonrenewable resources, such as minerals and oil are those which will be exhausted in the future if we continue to extract these without a thought for subsequent generations. Renewable resources, such as timber and water, are those which can be used but can be regenerated by natural processes such as re-growth or rainfall.
  • 30. But these too will be depleted if we continue to use them faster than nature can re-place them. For example, if the removal of timber and firewood from a forest is faster than the re growth and regeneration of trees, it can-not replenish the supply. And loss of forest cover not only depletes the forest of its resources, such as timber and other non-wood products, but affect our water resources because an intact natural forest acts like a sponge which holds water and releases it slowly.
  • 31. Deforestation leads to floods in the monsoon and dry rivers once the rains are over. Understanding and making ourselves more aware of our environmental assets and problems is not enough. We, each one of us, must become increasingly concerned about our envi- ronment and change the way in which we use every resource. Unsustainable utilization can result from overuse of resources, because of population increase, and because many of us are using more resources than we really need. Most of us indulge in wasteful behavior patterns without ever thinking about their environmental impacts.
  • 32. Thus, for all our actions to be environmentally positive we need to look from a new perspective at how we use resources. Importance of Environment Environment is not a single subject. It is an integration of several subjects that include both Science and Social Studies. To understand all the different aspects of our environment we need to understand - biology, chemistry -physics, geography, -resource management, economics -and population issues. Thus the scope of envi-ronmental studies is extremely wide and covers some aspects of nearly every major discipline.
  • 33. We live in a world in which natural resources are limited. Water, air, soil, minerals, oil, the products we get from forests, grasslands, oceans and from agriculture and livestock, are all a part of our life support systems. Without them, life itself would be impossible. As we keep increasing in numbers and the quantity of resources each of us uses also increases, the earth’s re- source base must inevitably shrink.
  • 34. The earth cannot be expected to sustain this expanding level of utilization of resources. We waste or pollute large amounts of nature’s clean water; we create more and more material like plastic that we dis-card after a single use. Increasing amounts of waste cannot be managed by natural processes. These accumulate in our environment, leading to a variety of diseases and other adverse environmental impacts now seriously affecting all our lives.
  • 35. Air pollution leads to respiratory diseases, water pollution to gastro-intestinal diseases, and many pollutants are known to cause cancer. Improving this situation will only happen if each of us begins to take actions in our daily lives that will help preserve our environmental resources. We cannot expect Governments alone to manage the safeguarding of the environment, nor can we expect other people to prevent environmental damage. We need to do it ourselves. It is a responsibility that each of us must take on as
  • 36. Aesthetic/Recreational value of nature: The aesthetic and recreational values that nature possesses enlivens our existence on earth. This is created by developing National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries in relatively undisturbed areas. The beauty of nature encompasses every aspect of the living and non-living part of our earth. One can appreciate the magnificence of a mountain, the power of the sea, the beauty of a forest, and the vast expanse of the desert.
  • 37. NEED FOR PUBLIC AWARENESS As the earth’s natural resources are dwindling and our environment is being increasingly degraded by human activities, it is evident that something needs to be done. Responsibility of Government: We often feel that managing all this is something that the government should do. But if we go on endangering our environment, there is no way in which the Government can perform all these clean-up functions.
  • 38. •It is the prevention of environment degradation in which we must all take part that must become a part of all our lives. •Just as for any disease, prevention is better than cure. •To prevent ill-effects on our environment by our actions, is economically more viable than cleaning up the environment once it is damaged. •Individually we can play a major role in environment management. •This can only be made possible through mass public awareness. •Mass media such as newspa- pers, radio, television, strongly influence public opinion. •However, someone has to bring this about. If each of us feels strongly about the environment, the
  • 39. Practice and promote issues such as -saving paper, saving water -reducing use of plastics -practicing the 3Rs principle of reduce, reuse, recycle, -and proper waste disposal. • Join local movements that support activities such as -saving trees in your area - go on nature treks, -recycle waste - buy environmentally friendly products. • Practice and promote good civic sense -such as no spitting or tobacco chewing - no throwing garbage on the road -no smoking in public places -No defecating in public places. • Take part in events organized on World Environment Day, Wildlife Week, etc. • Visit a National Park or Sanctuary, or spend time in whatever nature you have near your home.
  • 40. Institutions in Environment There have been several Government and Non- government organizations that have led to environmental protection in our country. They have led to a growing interest in environmental protection and conservation of nature and natural resources. The traditional conservation practices that were part of ancient India’s culture have however gradually disappeared Among the large number of institutions that deal with environmental protection and conservation, a few well-known organizations include government organisations such as the BSI and ZSI, and NGOs such as BNHS, WWF-I, etc.
  • 41. Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) Mumbai: the BNHS began as a small society of six members in 1883. The influence on wildlife policy building, research, popular publications and peoples action have been unique features of the multifaceted society. Undoubtedly its major contribution has been in the field of wildlife research. It is India’s oldest conservation research based organization.
  • 42. World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-I), New Delhi: The WWF-I was initiated in 1969 in Mumbai after which the headquarters were shifted to Delhi with several branch offices all over India. The early years focused attention on wildlife education and awareness. It runs several programs including the Nature Clubs of India program for school children and works as a think tank and lobby force for environment and development issues.
  • 43. Center for Science and Environment (CSE),New Delhi: Activities of this Center include organizing campaigns, holding workshops and conferences, and producing environment related publications. It published a major document on the ‘State of India’s Environment’, the first of its kind to be produced as a Citizen’s Report on the Environment. The CSE also publishes a popular magazine, ‘Down to Earth’, which is a Science and Environment fortnightly. It is involved in the publication of material in the form of books, posters, video films and also conducts workshops and seminars on biodiversity related issues.
  • 44. CPR Environmental Education Centre, Madras: The CPR EEC was set up in 1988. It con-ducts a variety of programs to spread environmental awareness and creates an interest in conservation among the general public. It focussed attention on NGOs, teachers, women, youth and children to generally promote conservation of nature and natural resources. Centre for Environment Education (CEE), Ahmedabad: The Centre for Environment Education, Ahmedabad was initiated in 1989. It has a wide range of programs on the environment and produces a variety of educational material. CEE’s Training in Environment Education {TEE}program has trained many environment educators.
  • 45. Uttarkhand Seva Nidhi (UKSN), Almora: The Organization is a Nodal Agency which supports NGOs in need of funds for their environment related activities. Its major program is organizing and training school teachers to use its locale specific Environment Education Workbook Pro -gram. The main targets are linked with sustain- able resource use at the village level through training school children. Its environment education program covers about 500 schools. Kalpavriksh, Pune: This NGO, initially Delhi based, is now working from Pune and is active in several other parts of India. Kalpavriksh works on a variety of fronts: education and awareness; investigation and research; direct action and lobbying; and litigation with regard to environment and development issues. I
  • 46. Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun: This Institution was established in 1982, as a major training establishment for Forest Officials and Research in Wildlife Management. Its most significant publication has been ‘Planning A Wildlife Protected Area Network for India’ (Rodgers and Panwar, 1988). The organization has over the years added an enormous amount of information on India’s biological wealth Botanical Survey of India (BSI): The Botanical Survey of India (BSI) was established in 1890 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta. However it closed down for several years after 1939 and was reopened in 1954. Zoological Survey of India (ZSI): The ZSI was established in1916. Its mandate was to do a systematic survey of fauna in India. It has over the years collected ‘type specimens’ on the bases of which our animal life has been studied over the years. Its origins were collections based at the Indian Museum at Calcutta, which was established in 1875.
  • 47. People in Environment There are several internationally known environmental thinkers. Among those who have made landmarks, the names that are usually mentioned are Charles Darwin, Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, John Muir, Aldo Leopald, Rachel Carson and EO Wilson. Each of these thinkers looked at the environment from a completely different perspective. Charles Darwin wrote the ‘Origin of Species’, which brought to light the close relationship between habitats and species. It brought about a new thinking of man’s relationship with other species that was based on evolution. Alfred Wallace came to the same conclusions during his work.
  • 48. Ralph Emerson spoke of the dangers of commerce to our environment way back in the 1840s. Henry Thoreau in the 1860s wrote that the wilder ness should be preserved after he lived in the wild for a year. He felt that most people did not care for nature and would sell it off for a small sum of money. John Muir is remembered as having saved the great ancient sequoia trees in California’a forests. In the 1890s he formed the Sierra club, which is a major conservation NGO in the USA. Aldo Leopald was a forest official in the US in the 1920s. He designed the early policies on wilderness conservation and wildlife management.
  • 49. In the 1960s Rachel Carson published several articles that caused immediate worldwide concern on the effects of pesticides on nature and mankind. She wrote a well known book called ‘Silent Spring’ which even led to a change in Government policy and public awareness. EO Wilson is an entomologist who envisioned that biological diversity was a key to human survival on earth. He wrote ‘Di-versity of Life’ in 1993, which was awarded a prize for the best book published on environmental issues. His writings brought home to the world the risks to mankind due to man made disturbances in natural ecosystems that are leading to the rapid extinction of species at the global level.
  • 50. There have been a number of individuals who have been instrumental in shaping the environmental history in our country. Some of the wellknown names in the last century include environmentalists, scientists, administrators, legal experts, educationists and journalists. Salim Ali’s name is synonymous with ornithology in India and with the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS). He also wrote several great books including the famous ‘Book of Indian Birds’. His autobiography, ‘Fall of a Sparrow’ should be read by every nature enthusiast. He was our country’s leading conservation scientist and influenced environmental policies in our country for over 50 years.
  • 51. Indira Gandhi as PM has played a highly significant role in the preservation of India’s wildlife. It was during her period as PM, that the network of PAs grew from 65 to 298! The Wildlife Protection Act was formulated during the period when she was PM and the Indian Board for Wildlife was extremely active as she personally chaired all its meetings. S P Godrej was one of India’s greatest support-ers of wildlife conservation and nature awareness programs. M S Swaminathan is one of India’s foremost agricultural scientists and has also been concerned with various aspects of biodiversity conservation both of cultivars and wild biodiversity. Madhav Gadgil is a well known ecologist in India..
  • 52. M C Mehta is undoubtedly India’s most famous environmental lawyer. His most famous and long drawn battles supported by the Supreme Court include protecting the Taj Mahal, cleaning up the Ganges River banning intensive shrimp farming on the coast, initiating Government to implement environmental education in schools and colleges, and a variety of other conservation issues. Anil Agarwal was a journalist who wrote the first report on the ‘State of India’s Environment’ in 1982. He founded the Center for Science and Environment which is an active NGO that supports various environ-mental issues. Medha Patkar is known as one of India’s champions who has supported the cause of downtrodden tribal people whose environment is being affected by the dams on the Narmada river.
  • 53. Sunderlal Bahugna’s Chipko Movement has become an internationally well-known example of a highly successful conservation action program through the efforts of local people for guarding their forest resources. His fight to prevent the construction of the Tehri Dam in a fragile earthquake prone setting is a battle that he continues to wage.
  • 54. Environmental studies is the systematic study of human interaction with their environment. It is a broad field of study that includes the natural environment, built environments, social environments, organizational environments, and the sets of relationships between them. Environmental studies is distinct from ecology and environmental science. Current environmental problems have evolved into a complex set of interdisciplinary issues involving ecological, political, economic, social, as well as physical and biological considerations. Modern environmental studies must include the study of the urban environment as well as the natural environment.
