Fifty years ago, in the early 1970s, the environment was characterized by significant industrial activity, leading to increased pollution in air and water. Many urban areas faced smog and degraded natural habitats due to rapid urbanization and population growth. Environmental awareness was beginning to rise, highlighted by the first Earth Day in 1970, which marked the start of a greater public consciousness about ecological issues and conservation efforts. However, many ecosystems were still largely untouched in more remote areas, offering a stark contrast to the environmental challenges emerging in populated regions.
