Human Influence of Expansion of Animal Populations
Humans can impact animal and plant populations. When humans develop land for
houses and buildings, they cut down trees and change animal and plant habitats.
Some animals, like the raccoon and the skunk, can adapt, but other animals can't adapt
and their populations are hurt.
There is no doubt that a vast number of animals and plants have gone extinct
in recent centuries due to human activity, especially since the industrial
revolution. The number of individuals across species of plants and animals
declined as well – in many cases severely – affecting genetic variation,
biodiversity, among other issues. All around the world, areas where humans
exploit natural resources or undergo encroaching development all have the
same outcome: a deteriorating natural environment. As a result of human
action, ecosystems face threats such as unhealthy production and
consumption; in today’s interconnected world, it doesn’t take much to see
these unsustainable forces to take hold.
This is a trend that cannot continue. If ecosystems are
too severely depleted, their ability to remain replenish,
sustain our species, and meet human needs is
drastically threatened.
The world is facing a mass extinction of species. All
species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians,
arthropods (insects and arachnids), fish, crustaceans,
corals and other cnidarians, and plants havedeclined,
in many cases, severely. Human civilization has had a
negative impact on most living things.
ANIMAL
Nowadays, changes in the environment that harm animal and plant
species are the result of human activity. With our cities and
residences, we occupy more land on Earth. We damage ecosystems.
Animals are hunted and killed illiciously. Exotic species are
introduced into environments. All of these actions deprive plants and
animals of resources and habitats.
MASS EXTINCTION
is an event in which a considerable portion of the world’s
biodiversity is lost. An extinction event can have many causes.
There have been at least 5 major extinction events since the
Cambrian explosion, each taking a large portion of the biodiversity
with it.
