These crisis include globalwarming ,urbanization, deforestation, N2o production, pollution, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, ocean acidification etc. These problems can be combat through scientific measures, human measures and movement. Ecological crisis occurs when environment of population changes in a way that it destabilizes its continued survival. It may be the situation becomes unfavourable to the quality of life due to raise in no of individuals (overpopulation),may be it is due to the increased predation or less rainfalls
