Human impacts on Biomes

The 5 titles:

  • Overexploitation of resources

  • Habitat destruction

  • Invasive species

  • Pollution

  • Climate change

Overexploitation:

Using up natural resources too quickly, which can lead to shortages of essential resources (e.g. wood) and harm the environment.

Habitat destruction:

Damaging or removing natural areas where plants and animals live, often because of human activities like building or farming. This makes it hard for wildlife to survive there.

Invasive species:

An invasive species of plant or animal that is not native to an area and spreads quickly, often harming local plants, animals, or the environment.

Pollution:

Pollution is the presence of harmful substances in the environment, like chemicals, waste, or smoke, that damage air, water, soil, or living things.

Climate change:

Climate change is the long-term change in the Earth's weather, mainly because of human activities. It causes hotter temperatures, more extreme weather, and rising seas.
