The ecological impact of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is profound, affecting both wildlife and habitat quality. Animals may ingest plastics, leading to health issues, or become entangled, which can result in injury or death. Furthermore, plastics can break down into microplastics, contaminating soil and entering the food chain. This pollution disrupts the natural balance, harms biodiversity, and can lead to long-term environmental degradation, ultimately impacting human health and ecosystems.
