Destroying natural barriers

Description

Destroying natural barriers involves the deliberate removal or alteration of physical features such as forests, wetlands, mountains, or riverbanks to facilitate human activities like transportation, agriculture, or urban expansion. This strategy aims to overcome obstacles to development, improve access, and increase usable land. While it can remedy issues of isolation or resource scarcity, it often requires careful management to mitigate environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and increased vulnerability to natural disasters.
