They interact with each other, with the earth and its resources. We can say that an ecosystem is a combination of the non living and the living constituents of the environment. Here, we need to differentiate between the natural environment and the built. The built environment consists of cities, towns, industries, mega structures and vehicles. On the other hand, the natural environment is all about different aspects of nature without human intervention such as animals, plants, insects, birds, humans, soil, water and air. Today, we are facing some serious environmental problems due to repressive and excessive interventions of humans on the natural environment especially in the post industrial era which commenced in the 19th century.
