A disaster to the natural environment due to human activity, which distinguishes it from the concept of a natural disaster.
An environmental disaster is a disaster to the natural environment due to human activity, which distinguishes it from the concept of a natural-disaster. It is also distinct from intentional acts of war such as nuclear bombings. In this case, the impact of humans' alteration of the ecosystem has led to widespread and/or long-lasting consequences. It can include the deaths of animals (including humans) and plants, or severe disruption of human life, possibly requiring migration.
