HABITAT DESTRUCTION
DEFORESTATION: Clearing trees DRAINING WETLANDS: Filling in ponds/lakes Disrupt food chain Migrate or become endangered/extinct More CO2, Less O2 Space for building Room for crops Food, lumber, medicine, paper
INVASIVE SPECIES
NO NATURAL PREDATORS Reproduce quickly Compete with natives for resources NON-NATIVE: Not originally from area Kudzu, Zebra Mussels, Burmese Pythons Control environmental problems Accident or for exploitation
Global Warming Acid Rain Killing animals & plants AIR: burning fuels WATER: sewage & runoff LAND: landfills CONVENIENCE More humans = Use more resources
3x amount of people 1950-2000 URBANIZATION(developing cities) Better medicine & treatments More opportunity in cities Less resources for ecosystems Rise in CO2 levels (global warming)
Food, clothing, medicines Fun/sport Biodiversity loss Greater risk of endangered / extinct Hunting & Poaching Overfishing
