Environment, Natural Resources, Land, Air & Water in Rural Areas, Iran

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight the links between human well-being, economic advancement, and a stable environment. The loss of agricultural production due to climate change and natural disasters has attracted widespread attention. The global environmental situation has faced many serious challenges in recent times, with climate change, ecological degradation, and loss of biodiversity becoming increasingly serious problems. Today, the livelihood of millions of rural households worldwide is closely related to the environment. The current level of livelihood dependency on environmental income is reported as high in many developing countries. Therefore, dependency of local livelihood on environmental income is considerable in developing countries. This has been considered as one of the main drivers of environmental degradation and depletion, especially in developing countries. Real people who protect nature are local communities themselves. If it is questionable to say that communities are really only practical to protect the environment, there is no doubt they are the main victims of environmental degradation. In degraded areas, soil is shallow, nutrients reduced.
