Environmental Issues In Southeast Asia Case Study

Southeast Asia consists of 10 countries, with the one of most beautiful regions on earth. This is because, it is have a thick forest, with surrounded by beautiful beaches, and it is full of amazing wildlife. In addition, Southeast Asia also have some urban centres, and amazing perspectives along the stimulation of the growth in a world economy today. Meanwhile, according to the Rich, (n.d.), he was mention that based on United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), “One person alone cannot save the planet’s biodiversity, but each individual’s effort to encourage nature’s wealth must not be underestimated.”

However, human activity is only concerned with wealth and luxuries of life that actually was threatened environment without their unconscious and/or conscious. This is because, like many development that have been built, it was to generate financial resources that are more secure for the long term period. However, through the development, it is clear that environmental degradation may be affected in resulting a natural resources, as well as its slowly disappearing, which is a major source of economies in Southeast Asia.

Most of the environmental issues in Southeast Asia is inextricably linked to the interests of individuals or the community itself for their profit. Therefore, there are several steps that must be done in addressing environmental issues that have occurred in Southeast Asia, which are covers by six major problems. That is, through air pollution, water security, destruction of coral reefs, deforestation, increasing urbanization, and the threat to the conservation of flora and fauna.

4. Water security

In addition, environmental problems also occur is water safety. This is because, if the problem is not addressed immediately, it will become more serious in stopping climate change to happen. In addition, it also reduces the melting of glaciers that occur in the Himalayan Mountains. Furthermore, in dealing with this problem, it is also helpful in preventing drought, and give an impact slowing deforestation activities thus can cause soil erosion, landslides, and flooding has decreased. The hygiene of the river and the coast are strongly encouraged, so that they can provide awareness to the coming generations that the water resources are very important to humans.
