Environmental degradation is defined as the "disintegration of the earth or the deterioration of the environment through the consumption of resources" (www.conserveenergyfuture.com 2014). In addition to the more obvious damage being done, there are concerns about cleaning the air, water and vital soil, as well as the eradication of wildlife. Any undesirable deterioration for the territory, nature and its inhabitants will be considered environmental degradation. In the case of Kuzco, this would result in the expansion of the human population into the forest and the application of measures that deplete resources and pollute the environment through the use of modern technology, among other unnatural things.
