Ecology in Great Britain

Nature is under threat. We have a moral duty to look after our planet. Where there are real threats to our planet, we have to take great care. Prevention is better than cure. The government of Great Britain aims:

to preserve Britain’s nature;

to encourage the more efficient use of energy;

to make sure that Britain’s air and water are clean and safe;

to maintain Britain’s contribution to environment research

Population growth. The world’s population doubled. That demand more agricultural land.

Biological diversity. By burning forests, draining, polluting and overfishing mankind is driving many species to extinction. The government supports international efforts to protect species.

Good air is essential for health. Levels of lead in air have been reduced by pollution control and reduction of lead in petrol. Pollution from car and factories is making a hole in the ozone layer bigger. Britain’s air will improve due to:

• Avoiding passive smoking:

• Reducing carbon monoxide for all new cars;

• Controlling smoke frome heavy diesels;

• Extending monitoring of air pollution;

Water. In 1989 the Government created the National Rivers Authority. 95% of British rivers are of good quality

North Sea. From the pollution many fish are becoming poisonous to eat. In the North Sea and other seas around Britain , the Government works to:

cut inputs of dangerous substances to all coastal waters from rivers;

tighten standards for chemical and oil discharge at sea;

provide greater protection for marine wildlife

support international research and monitoring
