Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Environmental degradation in Tanzania poses a severe threat to sustainable development. Deforestation, driven by illegal logging and agricultural expansion, reduces biodiversity and exacerbates climate change. Soil erosion and water pollution, resulting from unsustainable farming and industrial waste, further degrade ecosystems. The government has implemented policies like the National Environmental Policy, but enforcement is weakened by limited funding, inadequate monitoring, and public apathy. Cultural practices that prioritize short-term gains over long-term conservation also contribute to the problem. Coordinated action involving communities, government, and international partners is essential to reverse these trends.
