Have humans harmed the environment

Answer 1

Yes, humans have definitely harmed the environment. Human activities have resulted in deforestation of millions of acres of rainforest, increased the destruction of wildfires, dumped carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and acidified the ocean to the point coral reefs are dying out.

However, humans have also helped the environment, mostly by removing their wastes and correcting their impacts on areas. Examples of this include the restoration of thousands of acres of wetlands and replanting trees and reintroducing apex predators into their historical territories. Humans have also helped by preserving genetic diversity through seed collections.
