Environment

It is the biological environment in which the manifestations of life are manifested in their various natural forms. This environment consists of two elements; the first is natural and includes living organisms and natural resources, and natural systems. The second is abnormal and includes everything that has been brought into the environment by man.

Environment Science

Science studies the life pattern of living organisms in their natural habitats and their adaptation to the surrounding environment. It is the science that studies the nature of the relationships between living organisms and their environment.

Biosphere

It refers to the spatial space in which life exists in its different patterns or allows life to exist in it, or it is the part of the surface of the earth's crust (land or water), as well as the part of the surrounding atmosphere that is surrounded by it or the surrounding atmosphere.

Environmental terms

Maintenance of Biodiversity

They are the land or marine areas declared as natural reserves within each country due to their importance in preserving biological diversity. Some indicators indicate this, including The area of natural reserves as a percentage of the country's total area, and threatened mammals as a percentage of total native species, and threatened birds as a percentage of total native species, and threatened amphibians as a percentage of total native species.

Environment Indicator

It is a value indicating the state of the environment and the availability of information about it or describing it as an indicator of air pollution, an indicator of the degree of water quality or air quality, or measurement indicators indicating the preservation of the aforementioned biological diversity, or the indicator of the aforementioned biological diversity, or an indicator of the aforementioned agricultural diversity. With desertification, the area of ​​forests, the area of ​​cultivated land, the area of ​​land affected by salinity and saturated with water, the amount of energy used in agriculture, and the amount of agricultural pesticide use, and the amount of fertilizer use, the percentage of soil acidity, the average per capita share of arable land, the annual government support for the agricultural sector, or indicators to measure the amount of renewable resource consumption of all kinds.

Natural Protected Area

It is the land or water characterized by a special environmental nature. It has a cultural, aesthetic or environmental value, and the competent authority issues a decision as it is considered a natural reserve.

Environment Statistics

They are the statistics that show the state and trends of the environment and cover the natural environment media (air, climate, water, land or soil) and living organisms in environmental media and human settlements. Environmental statistics measure the influencing or driving forces such as population and economic growth, human activities, natural events, and their impact on the environment. It also measures social responses to environmental influences.

Environmental Media

It is a group of natural environment elements and includes air, water, land or soil, organisms, vegetation, groundwater, and non-renewable raw resources.

Environmental Balance

It is a balance between the elements of the main plant, animal and natural environment, which ensures the preservation of these elements and systems without increasing or accelerating the rates of change and natural extinction.

Environmental Awareness

It is the awareness of the different environmental influences on living organisms such as humans, animals and plants, and the impact of these organisms on the environment itself, and the consequences of that on the positive or negative impact of the social and social-environmental system in the overall environmental and social system.

Environmental Impact Assessment

The study and analysis of the feasibility or environmental impacts of activities whose establishment or practice affect the environment's safety. It is an important part of the project planning process. Through law or practice, it forms an integral part of the feasibility study guide.
