The survival of man depends on the physical environment. The use of the environment has
increased in order to satisfy the needs of men. Therefore human negligence and collective
actions for economic gains have put the environment at a disadvantage.Many of the natural
ecosystems have been interfered. This has been through encroachment on forest reserves
degradation of wetlands uncontrollable expansion of agricultural land leading to soil erosion
and soil exhaustion overgrazing and burning of grasslands leading to bear soils that are
susceptible to erosion agents. A sustainable situation occurs when mans ability to use natural
resources can be replenished naturally. Mans activity has outstretched the ability of these
resources to replenish naturally. The interactions of mans current processes with the
environment have strained it. The mans disturbance affects the interdependence of the
atmosphere that is the lithosphere the hydrosphere and the biosphere which lead to
environmental degradation.
