Since then, the impact of human activity on its environment has been growing. Plant species have been domesticated (today, domesticated rice is no longer able to reproduce without human intervention), forests have been cleared to expand cultivated areas, depriving animal species of their natural habitat, and since the Green Revolution (green for agricultural, not for ecological), we have been using [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesticide pesticides] and inputs that are harmful to the environment and to our health. | Since then, the impact of human activity on its environment has been growing.
