Introduction

With the pace of environmental co-management between entities such as the municipality, the population, and businesses, we are forced to question the legacy, the heritage intended for the future generation. What type of environment would we bequeath to the future generation? Wouldn’t our current environmental management compromise the ability of the future generation to meet its needs?

Definition of the Environment

The environment encompasses the natural and artificial environments of the ecosphere where humans build habitats, then exploit and develop them, and all non-anthropized environments necessary for their survival. This definition allows us to set the scene in order to restore the image.

Impact of Urbanization on the Environment

Human settlement in an environment is not random, and it is therefore not without consequences for the environment because it transforms the environment to suit its own tastes, altering the direction of surface water flow. In cities with rapid population growth like N’Djamena, we are aware of the toxic footprints left by residents. The streets of some neighbourhoods have been transformed into dumps for household waste, even though there are services for cleaning and disposing of household waste. Wastewater and fecal matter are dumped in the open air, polluting the air and soil. Incineration is unregulated, giving everyone the freedom to burn where and when they want, something dangerous for human health and our planet, which is struggling to cope with more greenhouse gases. Settling goes hand in hand with developing.

Consequences of Development on Biodiversity

Development is the cause of imbalance in the natural environment because it brings about changes. Development destroys the vegetation cover, forcing microfauna and macrofauna to migrate far from their habitat in order to survive. Development is not done for pleasure, but rather with the aim of exploiting and profiting from it.

Reasons for Environmental Exploitation

The environment is exploited in various ways: for agricultural purposes, the exploitation of natural resources, the establishment of industries, and others. The major problem caused by industries is not only the dumping of waste in the open air or its discharge into water, but also its burial, even though this waste is non-biodegradable.

Consequences of Industrial Waste and Flood Management

The flooding that is hitting some cities hard is certainly caused by climate change, but let’s not forget that the climate has always changed, so it would be wise to rethink our eukomenon, redefine our way of occupying the land, and review our way of managing our waste. We must be eco-citizens who are responsible for the well-being of our environment. Some residents believe that waste management is the sole responsibility of the municipality.

Conclusion

The environment must be co-managed with a view to limiting our negative impacts. Teaching must be more oriented towards environmental protection, management, and preservation in order to empower learners who will, in turn, become environmental ambassadors.
