First up, what it means..
The degradation of ecosystems is an environmental problem that diminishes the capacity of species to survive. This degradation occurs in different ways and is manifested in a reduction in the richness of the ecosystems as well as their biological diversity, and in the goods and services they can offer, thereby affecting indigenous and/or migratory species. The degradation of ecosystems due to overexploitation of their resources, though serving a short-term economic goal, has had direct negative effects on social welfare in the medium and long terms. As long as the ecosystem is not degraded, it represents a source of wealth for society, hence the importance of keeping it in good condition.
This photo was taken somewhere in my neighborhood, as you notice the ground looks sandy and not that suitable (they still survive anyway so yay!) for these trees but these continue to fight to survive, and if you take a look, its leaves are healthy and green. My neighborhood can help improve the chances of these living if we would take care of our environment, like for example, cleaning the trashes in our environment, taking out the dried leaves, taking out the weeds that steal the nutrients that the trees need.
Everyone, let us make our environment green and clean, to make our future generations will live a healthier and greener life.
