There is one extra sentence. Humans have exploited the natural world for centuries, and human activity has affected the environment in unprecedented ways. Take a look at some of the worst environmental disasters in modern history. On 16* March 1978, the Amoco Cadiz, a huge ship carrying over 200,000 tonnes of oil, hit some rocks and sank meżr the coast of Brittany, France, causing the largest oil spill disaster ever at the time. 1 __ Also, the unfavourable weather conditions at sea prevented rescue teams from getting there quickly. As a result, the oil combined with sea water caused the formation of a hard asphalt crust on the surface of the water, which continued to float for several years in some areas protected from strong waves and wind. Not surprisingly, the massive oil spill resulted in the highest death toll of sea birds and marine creatures ever recorded. 2 ___ The Amoco Cadiz disaster has so far been the most studied oil spill ever, and a lot of studies have continued up to the present day. Another event of catastrophie consequences happened on land. On 3% December 1984, the Indian city af Bhopal saw a tragedy which, although less publicised throughout the world than the Chernobyl nuclear explosion, is in fact the worst industrial disaster in human history. In the early hours of the morning, a huge container with an extremely toxic gas got damaged and caused the release of 43 tonnes of the gas into the atmosphere.

The exact number of deaths is difficult to establish as official reports differ from those of environmental organisations. A similar catastrophe occurred near Baia Mare in Romania. Believed to be one of the worst environmental disasters in Europe in recent years, the disaster took place on 30% January 2000. 4 ___ When a dam holding over 100,000 cubie metres of eontaminated water suddenly broke, the poisonous liquid spread all over the nearby area and got into the Tisza and Danube rivers, causing heavy water pollution in a number of nations beyond Romania. 5 ___ In further areas, the toxin affected up to 80% of aquatic life, including 20 protected species of fish. Not surprisingly, when, in 2012, the Romanian government allowed another company to mine for gold in this area by using the same cyanide method, environmental activists organised a number of demonstrations to try to prevent a similar disaster from recurring. Events like these do not seem inevitable and could perhaps have been avoided. They happened because af a combination of several factors — human oversight, irresponsibility or greed.
