Extinct Animals and Human Activities that causes extinction

Animals and information

1. Welcome ! WE ARE GROUP 2 Members: Alea Fae S. Isidro, Cheszcka Jullien Villon, Micose Baratang , Xzyreen Bebina A. Niño

2. What will we discuss? Extinction happens when a kind of animal disappears from the Earth forever. In this presentation, us, Group 2, will talk about extinct animals and what caused them to vanish. Some were lost because of natural events, while others disappeared because of human activities like hunting or destroying their homes. As we share what we’ve learned, we hope to help others understand why extinction matters and how it can still happen today.

10. What is the leading cause of extinction? Human activities has cause extinctions of various animals. Humans have exploited animal habitats for industrialization due to increase in human population and over-harvesting resources at unsustainable rates. Climate change has a huge impact on the Earth in which ice caps have begun melting and caused rising sea levels and has caused unbearable heat in which some animals cannot survive and reproduce. another major factor is pollution caused by human untidiness, scattering of indestructible waste, and dumping toxic waste in the water. Humans have caused long term effects on the Earth because of their actions and greed for materialism.
