Introduction The connection between human kind on one hand and nature and the environment on the other becomes weaker as time goes by due to rapid urbanization and growth of towns and technology. It has been very difficult for individuals living in urbanized areas to appreciate nature because they do not always experience it. People who live in urban areas lack fundamental attributes and responsibility towards nature because they do not perceive nature as important due to lack of first hand experience. Technological innovations should not be rated above the need to conserve the natural environment. Most technological inventions may at given points need the products of nature as resource materials meaning that technology and nature can be interdependent. The impact of technology on the environment cannot however be underestimated because technology has made negative impacts on the environment than positive ones. Acts that Destroy the Natural World Various activities performed by humans pose dangers to the environment by destroying, altering or worsening the state of the natural world. The most common activities by human kind on the encroachment of the natural environment include farming, industrial operations, housing and infrastructural operations. This encroachment has led to the deterioration and even extinction of various natural species within the environment. Pollution comes as a result of human encroachment on the environment that has led to industrialization and urbanization. The industries lead to urbanization of towns and emit greenhouse gases to the environment. Vehicles and other machinery that use petroleum fuels also emit gases destroy the ozone layer of the earth. These gases contribute to global warming that has led to melting of ice caps, increase in ocean levels, heat strokes, drought and also famine. The clearing of natural habitats, poaching, lumbering and burning of charcoal also destroys the natural resources. The said activities destroy the habitats of natural plant and animal species and this leads to their extinction and eradication. Lumbering of rare species of trees also leads to extinction of rare plant species. Reclamation of natural environments such as wetlands, swamps, lakes and ever glades also destroys the natural environment. These natural habitats preserve both animal and plant species. They are also used to filter the water flowing into them and also are used in controlling flood, siltation and soil erosion. Responsibilities towards nature Without nature, human existence would cease to be a reality. Most people do not really know and appreciate nature. Sensitization efforts towards environmental conservation and preservation should be made through human awareness campaigns. The responsibility towards conservation of nature should be inculcated into the society starting from kindergartens to universities. Young children should be aware of their responsibilities even when certain of them live in urban areas. Preservation of nature Preservation of nature involves the act of maintaining the present conditions of nature or natural places that have not been misused by humans. Due to human encroachment into different environments, vario
