Natural environment system has inbuilt self regulation mechanism’ known as homeostatic mechanism through which any change in the natural ecosystem counterbalance by responses of the system to the change and ultimately ecosystem stability is restored. Environmental degradation refers to the processes mainly by human activities to such an extent that it cannot be set right by the self regulatory mechanism or homeostatic mechanism of the environment
