    The document discusses the environmental impacts of migration. It provides background on the history and types of migration, and identifies push and pull factors like environment, economy, and culture. Migration can have both positive impacts like improving quality of life, but also negative impacts such as increased urbanization and loss of countryside, higher global gas emissions, and reduced biodiversity. The Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh is examined as a case study. Future predictions include effects of climate change like sea level rise and increased natural disasters leading to more migration. Suggestions are provided to help solve the crisis through safe refugee resettlement and improving waste management in urban areas.

    WHAT IS MIGRATION?
    Migration is the movement of persons from one geographical
    location or region to another. Migration can be temporal or
    permanent, and it may be voluntary or forced.
    HISTORY OF MIGRATION
     Migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo
    erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago. Mass
    amount of migration started after the industrial revolution in 18th century.
    Human migrations within recorded history have transformed the entire aspect
    of lands and continents and the racial, ethnic, and linguistic composition of
    their populations. Slave migrations and mass expulsions also have been part of
    human history for millennia. The largest slave migrations were probably those
    compelled by European slave traders operating in Africa from the 16th to the
    19th century; perhaps 20 million slaves were consigned to the Americas,
    though substantial numbers died in the appalling conditions of the Atlantic
    passage.
    TYPES OF MIGRATION
    There are two types of migration.

     Internal Migration
     International Migration
    REASONS OF MIGRATION
    Push and pull factors

     Environmental

     Economic

     Cultural
    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
    Positive Impact:
     Migration helps improving the quality of life of people.

     It helps to improve social life of people. It helps improving


    social life of people as they learn about new culture, customs,
    and languages which help to improve brotherhood among
    people. Migration of skilled workers leads to a greater economic
    growth of the region.
    NEGATIVE IMPACT:

     The net migration rate is the difference between the number of immigrants
    (people coming into an area) and the number of emigrants (people leaving an
    area) throughout the year.
     When more emigrate from a country, the result is a negative net migration rate,
    meaning that more people are leaving than entering the area.
    ECONOMIC IMPACTS:
     The economic effects of migration vary widely.
    Sending countries may experience both gains and
    losses in the short term but may stand to gain over
    the longer term.
    GLOBAL GAS EMISSION
    Movement of people from ‘low-carbon’ to ‘high-carbon’ parts of the world will cause an absolute increase
    in GHG emissions if migrants from ‘low-carbon’ areas increase consumption of carbon - intensive products
    once they have migrated.
    STATISTICS (ABOUT MIGRATION)
    INCREASED URBANIZATION AND LOSS OF
    COUNTRYSIDE

    U.K Hong Kong


    BIODIVERSITY
    Biodiversity loss is the extinction of species (plant or animal) worldwide, and also the local reduction
    or loss of species in a certain habitat. Migration reduces biodiversity.
    ROHINGYA REFUGEE ISSUE
     Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh mostly refer to Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals
    from Myanmar who are living in BANGLADESH
     On 28 September 2018, at the 73rd United Nations General Assembly, Bangladeshi Prime
    Minister Sheikh Hasina said there are 1.1 million Rohingya refugees now in Bangladesh
      Overcrowding from the recent population boom at Bangladesh's Rohingya refugee camps has
    placed a strain on its infrastructure.
    WAYS TO SOLVE THE CRISIS

     Opening up safe routes to sanctuary for refugees


     Resettlement

     States can stop this by investing in search and rescue operations and
    immediately helping people in distress.
     Saving lives

     Stop trafficking and racism

     Asylum is a human right


    FUTURE PREDICTIONS
    • Sea level rise
    • Changes in storm or cyclone frequency

    • Changes in rainfall patterns

    • Forest fires

    • Increases in temperature

    • Ocean acidification

    These environmental changes may result in more loss of homes or


    livelihoods and cause more immigration in future.
    SUGGESTION

    The world is rapidly urbanizing with significant


    changes in our living standards, lifestyles, social
    behavior and health
     Provide a safe and swift alternative to a meaningful
    number of refugee
      Planned and synchronized residential areas.
     Improve waste management.
    CONT.
     Reduce pollution (Air, Water, Noise).
     Increase Manpower
    Migration both within and between states
    should be understood as a great issue by the
    government and not seen simply as an ex
    post challenge to it. If we fail to take
    initiative right now, many more disasters are
    waiting for us. A good beginning makes a
    good ending.
