agenda of global and international concerns as one of the most important issues at both the

ional and international levels. As we look around at the area in which we live, we see
that our surroundings were originally a natural landscape such as a forest, a river, a
mountain, a desert, or a combination of these elements. Most of us live in landsca

have been heavily modified by human beings, in villages, towns or cities. But even those of
us who live in cities get our food supply from surrounding villages and these in turn are
dependent on natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands, rive
rs, seashores, for
resources such as water for agriculture, fuel, wood and fish. Thus our daily lives are linked
with our surroundings and inevitably affects them. Because of this problem all living and
