There are many factors that are affecting nature in our beautiful Belize. Everyday humans are destroying our environment through the different types of pollutions. So as individual we need to also help in protecting our environment. Today we are facing global warming due to what we humans are being doing to our beautiful earth. today we having a lot of hurricane, floods- erosion, drought, and also farming. our environment - nature is so unique that when we destroy it will never be like how God made it because we tend not to appreciate what we have in this world.

These past few weeks we have had the best example of how nature affects us.
The recent floods have been warning us of all the damage we have been doing and that now we need to do something to alleviate it. Pollution is our biggest enemy all the pollutants that are being emitted in our environment are contributing to Global Warming and causing disasters that are negatively affecting our lives. With the recent floods we have seen how it has gravely affected Belize's economy, it has damaged crops and livestock, which has caused us the people to feel the impact, financially with prices of everything skyrocketing and everyday we are reminded that this is not not finished. I think that myself like every Belizean is anxiously awaiting the end of the hurricane season.

Some factors that are affecting nature here in Belize are hurricanes, floods deforestation global warming. We may just look at these and say that’s out of our control. Yes maybe a few of them are but there are a few we can help avoid. Like for floods it may be beyond our control because its heavy rain falls for days, building up too much water for groundwater systems to handle. Slowly, the water level begins to rise, creeping higher and higher until it floods into your home, submerging your furniture and belongings. In extremely bad cases, flash floods, with their rushing torrents of muddy water, sweep away houses, cars, trees, and people with ease. We don’t even try to help our self by getting out when it early. Like the flooding that occurred at Dangriga were many houses swept away and a few life taken away and people being left home less.
Secondly our devastating hurricanes which has the same affects of a flood only more massive and dangerous. Like Hurricane Iris which was a category4 hurricane devastated Belize in October 2001, here it was reported 30 deaths and damage of 22.6 millions.
And let’s not forget deforestation. The world's tropical forests are being lost at an alarming rate, largely due to agricultural expansion. This loss is resulting in the extinction of native plant and animal species, a net increase in greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change, increased soil erosion, drought and flooding. This environmental degradation forces farmers to clear even more land to grow food for their families.
So we can see how all these factors contribute to each other because even though Global warming is strictly an imaginary problem, it is affecting all of us imagine the heat were feeling right know well what about when it continues to heat. The warming of the earth also contributes to the rising in sea level which makes flooding easier.

From what we have seen and experienced, we noticed that floods are becoming a major problem to our beloved country Belize. we have never experienced such floods like what have been happening in other countries; especially when houses are flooded in water. but why is such things happening like that?
well i can name some few factors affecting our country of Belize they are as follows:
1. hurricanes
2. floods
3. Global warming
4. Pollutions
5. Deforestation

Over the past few months floods have been affecting Belize and over the west. due to the changes in the weather and atmosphere there have been a drastic change in the country. many houses are lost, the roads were washed away, bridges collapsed because of the strong currents of the water and even lives were taken. as a result many people are suffering from this and we need to make a change. first of all, as Belizeans we should conserve the environment and stop polluting the area. deforestation is also another. we should help protect the environment and conserve it!!

There are many factors affecting nature everyday of our lives people are

destroying the forest, by men who are self employed cutting down the trees to

sustain their occupation. the pollution in the sea and land is getting out of hand.

people in my community are dumping waste material in the sea. the fact is little


children use the sea as their leisure time. people in today's society are not train to

dispose of waste the proper way i think we our community should be educated to

better conserve our homeland

In today's society there are so many factors affecting Nature. Some are man made factors while others are nature at its best. Recently we had the great flood in the western and northern part of our country that caused great damages and loss to nature and its people. People are still feeling the effects even up to today. One example of a man made factor is just to look in our own vicinity where people seem not to care about our environment. You can see so many pollution around that people have caused without any concern for our beautiful jewel.
People, lets protect nature we are the beneficiary of this blessing from God.
