In South America, human activities significantly impact the environment through deforestation, particularly in the Amazon rainforest, driven by agriculture, logging, and urban expansion. Pollution from industrial processes and mining operations contaminates air and water sources, threatening biodiversity and human health. Additionally, unsustainable farming practices lead to soil degradation and loss of native habitats. These actions contribute to climate change and disrupt the delicate ecological balance of the region.
