Humans have exploited the nature in every possible way, we do not think of consequences of our acts. Fishing and consumption of meat are not new but they were not as dangerous back then, lately we have realized that due to the consumption of these we can become prone to chronic diseases, but even today in the 21st century public at large have not realized that our eating habits are actually degrading the condition of our environment. Humans have even exploited the major source of oxygen just for monetary benefits : the oceans, to cope up with the growing demand the livestock and meat industry are destroying hectares of forest annually that are so essential for balancing the overall ecosystem. In the coming decades it is very much possible that people won’t have a place to live, water to drink, rely on artificial methods for oxygen and short of food grains, all this just because of the delectable meat or seafood on our table. This research paper highlights the role of meat and fishery industry in completely destroying the nature and marine ecosystem, also there are various measures mentioned here which can be really helpful in re building the environment, but the bigger question is are we willing to do it.
