About Environmental Issues and Human Impact
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This unit sits in the Foundations of Environmental Science strand of Environmental science and ecology. The resources look at how people change the world around them. Topics include fishing and farming, climate change, pollution, waste, habitat loss and sustainable living.
Where to start
Begin with the overview material. The human impact on environment flowchart by corals group splits the subject into ecosystem impacts, fishing and farming, climate change impacts and technology impact. It gives you a map of the whole unit before you look at details.
Next, move to single-issue mind maps. Good choices include Over - Fishing, which explains why fish stocks have fallen, Fast Fashion, Recycle and The Blue Planet, which lists causes of destruction and their consequences. There are also maps on acid rain, invasive species, pesticides, oil spills and Lake Chad.
Building your vocabulary
Flashcards are useful for key terms. The deck on Applied Year 10 - Topic 2.2 Protecting our environment asks questions such as what bioaccumulation and eutrophication are, and why habitats are being destroyed. 9 Environmental Problems covers droughts, floods, e-waste, deforestation and rising sea levels. Some resources mention exams such as GCSE Biology, GCSE Religious Studies and A-level Environmental Studies, so check that a resource matches your course.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map on one issue, such as plastic bottles or deforestation.
- Close it and try a quiz, for example Protect our planet! or Environmental Quiz 1.
- Note the questions you missed and go back to the matching map or note.
- Turn those gaps into flashcards.
Teachers can use the slide sets, such as Deforestation and NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations), as starting points for lessons or revision tasks.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the human impact on environment flowchart by corals group. It organises the topic into ecosystem impacts, fishing and farming, climate change and technology. After that, choose a single-issue mind map such as Over - Fishing or Recycle and go deeper into one problem at a time.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover a wide range of human impacts, including over-fishing, fast fashion, plastic water bottles, habitat destruction, deforestation, global warming, pesticides, oil spills, acid rain and invasive species. Some also look at solutions, such as sustainable living, waste management and overcoming global environmental issues.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do these resources suit?
The great majority are secondary level, so they suit school students. Some resources mention GCSE Biology, GCSE Religious Studies, GCSE, A-level Environmental Studies or UPSC. Check the title and contents to see whether a resource fits your own course.
Are there quizzes as well as maps?
Yes, there are more than 30 quizzes, including Protect our planet!, Environmental Quiz 1 and Unit 1 Test. They sit alongside mind maps, flashcard decks, slides and notes, so you can read a topic, test yourself, then revise the gaps.
What if I can't find my exact topic?
Try a nearby title first. Broad maps such as Environmental problems, Human Impacts or Global Issues 1 often touch on several themes. If nothing fits, you can make your own mind map or flashcards for the topic using a free account.
