Geography Environmental Issues

Geography is the study of the Earth, its environment, people, land/water features and how they interact with one another. It is generally divided into human and physical geography. The Earth faces monumental challenges to the existence of all the plants and animals that inhabit this fragile biosphere. To understand these challenges is our first step to solving these Earth shaking issues. Below are articles and reports on a wide range of Environmental Issues.
