Why environmental science education matters

Environmental education teaches how natural environments work and how people can manage their behaviour and ecosystems to live sustainably. It draws on biology, ecology, chemistry and geography. The United Nations conference in Stockholm in 1972 called for environmental education as a tool against global environmental problems, and the Belgrade Charter of 1975 and the Tbilisi conference of 1977 further defined its aims. Today it is part of school and college courses in many countries, including India.

Topics students usually meet in an introductory course

Because syllabi differ from one university to another, we describe only general areas here and not a chapter list for this book:

• The meaning of environment, ecosystems and natural resources
• Biodiversity and why it must be protected
• Pollution of air, water and soil, and ways to reduce it
• Waste management, recycling and sustainable habits
• Climate change and its effect on people and nature
• Personal and community responsibility towards the environment

Environment and the teachings of Islam

Muslim students will find that care for the environment is close to their faith. The Qur’an teaches that Allah created the earth with balance, and that people are entrusted with looking after it and not spreading corruption. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged planting trees, avoiding waste even when performing wudu, and showing kindness to animals. Reading an environmental science course with this attitude turns it from a requirement into an act of responsibility before Allah Almighty.

Who should buy this book

• First-semester undergraduate students in colleges in Kashmir, J&K and across India
• Students who need a simple introduction to environmental science for a Value Added Course
• Teachers who want a short reference for their classes
• Anyone beginning to learn about environmental issues for the first time

How to study this subject well

Start by reading each unit once without stopping, then return to it with a pen and underline key terms. Make short notes with definitions and examples in your own words. Environmental science is easier to remember when linked to what you see around you, so try to connect each topic with a local example, such as water bodies, forests, waste or air quality in your own town or village. Revise regularly instead of waiting until the examination. Practise explaining a topic aloud to a friend, and prepare short answers as well as longer ones. We do not promise marks, but steady study with a clear plan always helps.

Join the habit of caring

A book on environmental science is more than a set of facts for an examination. Small steps like saving water, avoiding plastic, planting a tree and keeping neighbourhoods clean are habits that begin with understanding. We hope this book encourages students to take those steps.
