''保護環境'' 的意義

在遙遠的南美洲亞馬遜河流域，是我們的地球之肺，在濫砍濫伐之下地球的空氣越來越糟糕了，如果沒有樹木，也不會再也空氣了。

保護環境是人類有意識地保護自然資源並使其得到合理的利用，防止自然環境受到污染和破壞；對受到污染和破壞的環境做好綜合的治理，以創造出適合於人類生活、工作的環境，協調人與自然的關係，讓人們做到與自然和諧相處的概念。

為了防止自然環境的惡化，對青山、綠水、藍天、大海的保護。

這裡就涉及到了不能私采（礦）濫伐（樹）、不能亂排（污水）亂放（汙氣）、不能過度放牧、不能過度開荒、不能過度開發自然資源、不能破壞自然界的生態平衡等等。

這個層面屬於宏觀的，主要依靠各級政府行使自己的職能、進行調控，才能夠解決

Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of the natural environment and humans.

 Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. 

This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960's, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues.

 There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activity, and protection measures are occasionally criticized.
