ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

Since ancient times Nature has served Man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But with the development of civilization man’s interference in nature began to increase.

Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. The by-products of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we grow grain and vegetables on. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Many cities suffer from smog. Vast forests are cut and burnt in fire. Their disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up.

The pollution of air and the world’s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man’s interaction with nature, a sign of ecological crises.

The most horrible ecological disaster befell Belarus and its people as a result of the Chernobyl tragedy in April 1986. About 18 per cent of the territory of Belarus was polluted with radioactive substances. Great damage has been done to the republic’s agriculture, forests and people’s health. The consequence of this explosion at the atomic power-station have been truly tragic for the Belarusian nation.

Environmental protection is a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken.

 Some progress has already been made in this direction. As many as UN member-states have set up environmental protection agencies. Numerous conferences have been held by these agencies to discuss problems of ecologically unsafe regions including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl. And international environmental research centre has been set up on Lake Baikal. The international organization “Greenpeace” is also doing much to preserve the environment.

But these are only the initial steps and they must be followed by others to protect nature and save life on the planet not only for present but for the future generstions.
