Man is directly related to nature, its capabilities and needs. Volumes and forms of communication increased along with the development of industrial society and the degree of its interest in biosphere resources.
It is the influence of man on the elements of the environment, as well as those factors that result from the economic activities of people that are called anthropogenic impact. It is it that affects nature only destructively. The fact is that anthropogenic impact leads to depletion of resources, environmental degradation and the formation of an artificial landscape. The fact is that a similar situation leads to the homogenization of the biosphere. The result of human activity is the formation of monotonous agrosystems that arose from elementary ecological ones. A serious malfunction is that the massive destruction of flora and fauna causes environmental imbalance.
Anthropogenic impact on nature causes disruptions in the natural course of all evolutionary processes. Due to the fact that it is divided into several types of influence, this type of human intervention may differ in the time frame and the nature of the damage caused.
So, exposure can be intentional and unintentional. Among the manifestations of the first type are called the use of soil for perennial plantations, the creation of reservoirs and canals, the construction and creation of cities, the drainage of swamps and the drilling of wells. And unintentional anthropogenic impact is a qualitative change in the gas composition of the atmospheric layer, environmental pollution, acceleration of metal corrosion, acid rain and changes in the climate of the continent.
It is the second type of influence that is considered the main one, because it is poorly controlled and can cause difficult to predict consequences. Therefore, control over this issue has long been the main environmental problem.
The fact is that the anthropogenic impact over the past few decades has surpassed in power all the forces of nature and the evolution of the biosphere itself. All physical laws are violated, and the natural balance is in complete imbalance.
There are two main points of view that try to explain the situation of the future in the event that a person can overcome the negative impact and technological progress.
So, according to the first, negative anthropogenic impact on the environment can slow down the same scientific and technological progress. Proponents of the second, natural theory, suggest that this negative effect should be artificially reduced to a minimum at which nature can return to its former, calm state and stay in it. At the same time, the regulatory abilities of the biosphere will be enough to maintain such stability. However, such a situation will require a person to radically change his lifestyle in all permissible spheres of life.
The fact is that it is possible to limit the negative anthropogenic impact on the environment only when society has a certain level of culture and morality. The process in which the opportunity arises for the formation of a harmoniously developed personality is very difficult to create. But this is a global need. Modern living conditions simply require us to live harmoniously with nature. Humanity will enter the era of the noosphere only when co-evolution of people and the biosphere is observed. It is necessary to strive for this, because, otherwise, a number of irreversible consequences will arise in which nature itself will rebel against us.
