2. CAUSES Global Warming: A Rising Threat Population Growth: Demands on Resources Pollution: A Silent Destroyer Habitat Destruction: A Catalyst for Loss Presentation title 2

3. Global Warming: A Rising Threat * Global warming, caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, disrupts natural habitats and weather patterns. * Rising temperatures lead to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. * These changes disrupt species' lifecycles, migration patterns, and food sources, pushing them towards extinction. Presentation title 3

4. Population Growth: Demands on Resources Presentation title 4 * A growing human population leads to increased demand for food, water, and resources. * This demand often leads to the conversion of natural habitats into agricultural land and urban settlements. * Fragmentation and loss of habitats reduce space and resources for wild species, pushing them towards decline.

5. Pollution: A Silent Destroyer Pollution includes air, water, and soil contamination by various chemicals and waste products. Plastic pollution, for example, entangles animals, disrupts ecosystems, and enters the food chain. Chemical pollutants can disrupt hormone functions, reproduction, and overall health of various species. 5

6. Habitat Destruction: A Catalyst for Loss Habitat destruction involves the clearing, degradation, or fragmentation of natural ecosystems. This can be caused by deforestation, unsustainable agriculture, and infrastructure development. Loss of habitat disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems, leading to species decline and extinction.
