Pesticides and Their Impact on Biodiversity and the Environment

Abstract: Pesticides are biological toxins utilized by humans to eliminate pests, thereby enhancing crop yields and controlling insect vectors that spread diseases. However, the application of pesticides has resulted in significant environmental and health risks to various organisms, including humans. Overuse of these chemicals can lead to a decline in biodiversity, putting many bird species, aquatic life, and other animals at risk due to the detrimental effects of harmful pesticides. This article aims to explore the negative consequences of pesticides on biodiversity and the environment.
