An environment is a complex of surrounding circumstances, conditions, or influences in which a thing is situated or is developed, or in which a person or organism lives, modifying and determining its life or character.
- In biology, ecology, and environmental science, an environment is the complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors that surround and act upon an organism or ecosystem.
- The natural environment is such an environment that is relatively unaffected by human activity.
- environmentalism is a concern with the preservation of the natural environment, especially from human pollution, and the ethics and politics associated with this.
