How do you say " the environment" in Spanish?

Question

I typed this word up and the translation I got was el medio ambiente. I just want to check if this is the right translation to use in the green sense of the word, as in conservation of the environment, pollution of the environment, degradation of the environment, etc. Or maybe there is another word best suited for this context? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, that's the right translation.

conservation of the environment = conservación del medio ambiente

pollution of the environment = contaminación del medio ambiente

degradation of the environment = degradación del medio ambiente
