Causes of environmental degradation

(a) High ambition of man:Mahatma Gandhi has said "the earth has enough for every one's needs greed". Many people have dream of quality life . But standard life is not possible to all. Their ambition is beyond their capacity. Then people begin to o illegal activities like cutting down of trees and illegal selling , mixing chemical wastes without processing, cultivating even in marginal lands and using chap materials which give much more pollution. So, human greed is res possible factor of environmental degradation.
(b) Poverty is also one of the important factors responsible for environmental degradation. due to poverty, people are obliged to stat deforestation.Poaching, defection in the open filed (because they are unable to make a toilet). And sell the organs of animal example"when the world has reached in the age of solar power we are still burning firewood to cook.
(c) Nepal is an agricultural country. About 80% of the people of Nepal have agricultural occupation. So, directly or indirectly most of the people are related with agriculture or the economics condition of Nepalese depends on agricultural production. More people, more desire, the degradation in environment has come due to the destruction of forest, controlling hunting of wild animal.
