This educational book is aimed at students studying in relevant departments of universities, so that as professionals they can effectively propose measures and activities to prevent and suppress environmental degradation within the principle of sustainability.

Emphasis has been placed on the interdisciplinary approach to the topics it deals with, as well as on the most up-to-date information possible. For this reason, many references were used, including internet sources, in the form of embedded texts that are differentiated from the rest of the text with a gray box at the edge of the page.
