Abstract
This article explores the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century and highlights the pivotal role of biology in addressing them. Topics such as air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change are examined. Particular attention is given to biological approaches including bioremediation, genetic engineering, ecological monitoring, and bioindication. The study underscores the importance of sustainable practices and international cooperation in environmental protection. Biological sciences offer innovative solutions for ecosystem restoration and pollution mitigation, making them essential for achieving long-term environmental sustainability.
