Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ecosystem
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Zoology
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that affects everyone. The ongoing pandemic caused by COVID-19 virus has paralysed everyday life across the globe. To limit spread of infection, the Government of various countries issued a Nation-wide lockdown, with increase in COVID cases, more and more biomedical wastes were also produced. With a halt in manufacturing industries and automobiles plying, air pollution levels drops drastically and rare animal sightings were recorded by the media. Water Pollution levels were also recorded to be on the down trend. COVID-19 provides us an opportunity to both revisit our relationship with nature and rebuild a more environmentally responsible world.
