Globally, civilizations have practices that have caused irreparable damage to our environment. In this document, irreparable damage to the environment is defined as a loss of environmental well-being due to an anthropogenic cause that cannot reasonably be resolved through human or natural processes. Anthropogenic desertification, species extinction and persistent organic pollutants are three examples that will be explored in this article as evidence of irreparable environmental damage. Unlike natural deserts, anthropogenic desertification is a human process caused by land use (e.g. agriculture) and land. change in use (e.g. deforestation), which causes a land to adopt desert-like characteristics, such as a lack of nutrients and organic matter to support vegetation. Anthropogenic desertification is mainly caused by overgrazing of animals, excessive cultivation, deforestation, increased soil salinity and climate change. This process is harmful and irreparable to the environment as it undermines the soil's ability to support vegetation growth, which effectively limits potential reintroduction ...
