Covid-19 and the environment 

Impact of covid-19 on environment 

This catastrophic virus has put down the world into a state of quarantine thus enabling people to practice social distancing.  The industries, commercial flights, schools and offices have been deserted worldwide.

However, everything comes at a price in some form or other. The major environment and climate bogeyman like industries, civil aviation and transport networks have been put into lockdown thus reducing air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide released from vehicles,  spoiling the air quality. The Covid-19 crisis provokes urban wildlife like all human beings are put in their vessels and animals are taking benefit of human absence.

 The road traffic gets too reduced nowadays and animals are less likely to be hit by cars. The covid-19 outbreak will help out to restrain wildlife trade, which is responsible for bringing a lot of animals to the verge of extinction.Covid-19 crises have provoked the plastic waste. In quarantine, people prefer to wear disposable masks and gloves and the opened hotels don’t bother to re-use the cups to stop the outbreak of the virus. 

 The climate crises are pushed to sidelines due to covid-19 outbreak but according to climate expert’s important steps and measures should not be ignored and the UN climate conference postponed till 2021. While emission has dropped since the pandemic started and according to recent studies, co2 emission has declined to 25% in China.

Deforestation, Industrial agriculture, wildlife trade, climate leads to the extension of future epidemics. Covid-19 can erode the rights of billions of people who are already subjected to environmental crisis encompassing people living in below poverty, minority and indigenous.

The covid-19 has had a profound influence on our home, work and environments, but from environment point of view, the picture is far less clear. The recent situation may have a huge impact on our attitude to pollution, health and hygiene.

The lessons adapted once we will have this emergency behind us will be essential to (reconsider) the issue of air contamination. Shockingly environmental change will, in any case, be near and won't generally be changed by this emergency.
