General Information about Environment for Meeting Planners and Prospective Clients.

Since the environment plays such an important role in our lives, conserving it is one of the most important things a person or a company can do for a better, cleaner, and more sustainable future. All of us depend on the proper functioning of a variety of healthy ecosystems. Their function is to clean the water, maintain the soil, purify the air, regulate the climate, recycle nutrients, and provide sustenance. However, when humans carelessly breach into the natural world – by pushing into the territory of other animal species for instance – there is a significant risk for various diseases to emerge and spread. In addition, lack of access to clean water and clean air are some of the major factors contributing to human mortality each year.

The environment also provides us with a wide array of natural medicines, which are often better than designer drugs for treating many diseases. Although scientists and pharmaceutical companies constantly delve into the natural environment in order to find new and better medicines, about 15,000 medicinal plant species currently face extinction – a phenomenon significantly threatening the existence of a rich and sustainable source of treatment.

Over half of the world’s population depends upon the natural environment to earn their living. Thus, the environment is essential for reducing poverty, and contributes to building better and stronger economies for many countries. Finally, many studies have shown the crucial role the natural environment plays in issues related to mental health, happiness, and well-being.
