Band 5+: Natural catastrophes have become more frequent and severe as a result of population development and increased human concentration in natural environments. What are the problems and potential solutions to this problem? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

In the day and age, the increasing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes is the result of developing population and increased human concentration in the natural environment, somehow interrupting the habitat which is leading to some disasters like floods, earthquakes and wildfires etc., are the significant challenges that require the potential solutions.

Two begin with, as people are moving in the natural ambience and putting up the better infrastructure according to their needs and wants, for instance they are trying to build the better environment but are completely unknown about the technologies and ways to preserve rainwater and only because of the human’s interruption in the water cycle ends up resulting in the floods and Tsunamis.

Additionally, in recent news people come across to know about the calamity that happened in the USA in the city of California. The entire city was burned up because a manufacturing company which was beside the forest, the workers in that company mistakenly thrown the burning garbage into the forest which caught fire and slowly-slowly went through the whole city, such an a immense disaster occurred just because of the human’s interruption in the habitats.

Furthermore, some issues like deforestation, which leads to cutting down trees and increasing erosion calamities in the area. The number of trees is gradually decreasing because humans are knowingly kept cutting trees to use them to establish better infrastructure and again destroying the surroundings. These issues are exacerbating the environment and leading to catastrophes. The government can surmount these problems and mitigate the impact of these problems by foisting the rules and regulation which should be mandatory followed by everyone, not only preventing them from cutting trees but also providing better education, so that they won’t miss out any knowledge.

To encapsulate, it is elucidated that the issue of human shifting to natural environmental areas, leading to disaster-prone activities, could be solved by proactive planning and disaster-resistant solutions.
