In this chapter on Environmental Sustainability, we will be learning about the threats to the environment, such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and the rapid growth of the human population. We will also explore the concepts of preservation, conservation, and restoration of ecosystems, understanding the need for maintaining, conserving, and restoring the balance of nature. Additionally, we will discuss practices that contribute to environmental sustainability and generate ideas on how we can contribute to preserving the environment. Lastly, we will define green technology and explore its use in preserving the environment. We will also discuss the status of food security in Malaysia.
