Environmental damage can be defined as the process of deterioration or deterioration of the environment. This environmental deterioration is characterized by the loss of soil, water, air resources, the extinction of wild flora and fauna, and ecosystem damage.
Environmental damage has a direct impact on human life. In 2004, the United Nations High Level Threat Panel, Challenges and Change, included environmental degradation as one of ten threats to humanity. The World Risk Report released by the German Alliance for Development Works (Alliance), United Nations University's Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in 2012 also mentioned that environmental damage is one important factor that determines the height low disaster risk in a region.
Causes of Environmental Damage
Causes of environmental damage in general can be categorized in two factors, namely due to natural events and the result of human activities.
Volcanic eruptions, floods, abrasion, landslides, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are some examples of natural disasters. These disasters are responsible for the destruction of the environment due to natural events. Even if examined further, disasters such as floods, abrasion, forest fires and landslides may occur due to human intervention as well.
The second cause of environmental damage is the result of human activities. The damage caused by humans is even greater than the damage caused by natural disasters. This is considering the damage done can occur continuously and tend to increase. This damage is generally caused by human activities that are not environmentally friendly such as forest destruction and transfer of forest functions, mining, air pollution, water, and soil and so forth.
Some facts related to the high environmental damage in Indonesia due to human activities include:
1.
The rate of deforestation reached 1.8 million hectares / year, resulting in 21% of Indonesia's 133 million hectares of forest lost. Forest loss leads to degradation of environmental quality, increased natural disasters, and threatened sustainability of flora and fauna.
2.
30% of the 2.5 million hectares of coral reefs in Indonesia are damaged. Damage to coral reefs increases disaster risk to coastal areas, threatens marine biodiversity, and decreases marine fisheries production.
3.
High air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination, and marine pollution in Indonesia. Even in 2010, the Citarum River was once crowned as the World's Most Enchanted River by the huffingtonpost.com site. The World Bank also placed Jakarta as the third highest pollutant city after Beijing, New Delhi and Mexico City.
4.
Hundreds of rare and endangered Indonesian plants and animals. According to IUCN Redlist, 76 species of Indonesian animals and 127 plants are in the highest vulnerability status of Critically Endangered (Critical) status, and 205 species of animals and 88 plants belong to the Endangered category, and 557 animal species and 256 Vulnerable plants.Nature and the environment become a place to live and live human life. Environmental conditions will directly affect the human condition. Because it is right that we keep this earth the only one from environmental damage.
If we always keep this nature every morning we always see scenery like picture below:

But if we do not take care of this nature and let forest clearance and natural destruction everywhere then we will only see the destruction that will happen !!!
My post this time was inspired by 
posting with the title The Nature Principle in steemit (Part 2)
And also Profesional 
gardener who in every post is always associated with animals and nature which is sure he is a nature lover, he is a senior in this steemit.
Suggestions from me you read each of their posts because it is very useful for you all.
