Excerpt from the book
How can International business affect the natural environment which includes marine life and wildlife?
There are many of international businesses are contributing in environmental problems which affect wildlife. The products go through process of production and that process include a number of stages before they are ready for market. For example, traditional paper-making requires trees to be grown and harvested, the wood to be processed, the pulp often to be bleached, and so on. The different process will have different sorts of environmental effects on biodiversity on forest-based streams and wildlife (Abaza, 2005, p. 53). The cost of business on the environment at about $4.7 trillion per year. On the other hand, that is means the huge impact on wildlife in an area — species relocated or completely lost because of a lack of natural resources for their daily needs (Folk, 2018). The factories of international business contributing in emission of gas that affect negatively on wildlife. In addition, the countries which import goods such as vehicles with excessive emissions that pollute the air, products containing heavy metal complex such as lead, very noisy machines and devices or fuels that can harmful the environment (Witkowska., & Wysokinska, 2005). Many types of animals die because of exploiting natural lands to build new business enterprises. During the building process, awareness planning is a very important to reduce some of the negative impacts. The fashion companies use bleached wood pulp for produce viscose and rayon, which are the base materials for producing clothes. In fact, that pulp is often taken from trees in endangered forests this means we are buying and using the clothes that contributing directly in destroying forests which is home of many wildlife animals (Jones, n.d). The factories of business release carbon into the atmosphere and that lead to global warming which it leads to forest fires. In 2019 in Brazil, the Amazon rainforest was burn and that significantly affected wildlife. There are some of people think that human activities are one of causes of these fires such as, trees cutting for some business purpose.
