Environmental Education.

The early man lived in forests. He got food and shelter as a major portion of the earth’s land surface was covered with forests. As human civilization advanced, man learnt to grow plants.and crops and domesticated a few species of animals and birds which provided him with meat, eggs, milk etc. then villages, towns and cities appeared on land which was once covered with forests. Man killed animals, cut trees for fuel, fire-wood and houses. Forest cover which protected environment decreased. So, environmental education became the need of the hour. It must be included in our school curriculum. We must stop polluting environment. It will be to the benefit of both the present and the future humanity at large. We should preserve our flora and fauna. We should take all possible steps to curb the environmental imbalances.
