Environmental Science

Environmental science is an essential field in the current world, and involves the study of the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment and their interactions. Environmental scientists investigate environmental issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, waste management, water pollution, etc., and how these issues can be dealt with.

And to set an example for you, I must take the name of Mr Salim Ali. Salim Ali was an Indian ornithologist and naturalist; known as the “birdman of India”, Salim Ali was among the first Indians to conduct systematic bird surveys across India. He was instrumental in creating the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (Keoladeo National Park) and prevented the destruction of what is now the Silent Valley National Park. He was awarded India’s second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan in 1976.

• Career Opportunities: Environmental scientists are hired for research and other roles by various industries such as mines, water-treatment plants, fertiliser plants, etc. and different government departments and agencies such as forestry, pollution control board, agriculture, etc.
