Abstract: Environmental management has been a global concern for various reasons. Environment has been perceived to provide support not only to human but to other organisms as well. It forms habitat for various organisms and through support of vegetation growth ecological functions such as recharge of atmospheric moisture is realized. The ecosystems such as forests, wetlands and water play a vital role in waste assimilation. Forests act as carbon sinks and also contribute to air purification. They are also habitat for wild organisms like birds, snakes and other animals. On the other hand, wetland ecosystem offer protection services for instance the buffer zone between open water and land that regulates and protects the water from being contaminated hence pollution abatement. They also moderate climate as they contribute to the atmospheric moisture recharge.
