Human Impact & Global Connections
Across two engaging modules, you’ll dive into the science behind environmental challenges and discover how biological principles shape health, technology, and sustainability. This isn’t just theory—it’s about making sense of the world we live in and the choices we make.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How human activities—like deforestation, pollution, and climate change—impact ecosystems and biodiversity
- The importance of conservation and sustainable practices in protecting natural resources
- Key biological concepts such as evolution, homeostasis, and cellular function, and how they relate to real-world issues
- How biology informs healthcare, environmental science, and technological innovation
- Ways to apply biological understanding to personal well-being and global challenges
- The interconnectedness of life systems and why ecological awareness matters more than ever
Human Impact on Ecosystems
While Earth’s ecosystems have long evolved through natural forces, human activity now plays an increasingly dominant and accelerated role. From industrial expansion and urban sprawl to the relentless consumption of resources, our footprint disrupts the fragile equilibrium of nature on a global scale.
