Habitat Loss and Sustainability
Through increased adoption of sustainable practices, we can reduce habitat loss and its consequences.
Overharvesting
Overharvesting threatens biodiversity by degrading ecosystems and eliminating species of plants, animals, and other organisms.
Exotic Species
Exotic species introduced into foreign ecosystems can threaten native species through competition for resources, predation, and disease.
Climate Change and Biodiversity
The global warming trend is recognized as a major biodiversity threat, especially when combined with other threats such as habitat loss.
