All need our help to ensure their survival for generations to come…
Find out more about the threats to wildlife, jeopardizing the balance of ecosystems around the world.
The extinction of wild animal species is accelerating at an alarming rate, and it’s largely driven by human activity. More than one million species are currently at risk of extinction—more than at any other time in human history. But with collective action, we can still turn the tide.
🌍 Major Threats to Wildlife 🌍
- Habitat Loss and Degradation – Deforestation, urban expansion, and agriculture are destroying natural habitats, especially in tropical forests.
- Climate Change – Rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns disrupt migration, breeding, and food availability.
- Pollution – Chemicals, plastics, and other pollutants contaminate ecosystems, harming both land and marine species.
- Overexploitation – Overfishing, poaching, and illegal wildlife trade are pushing many species to the brink.
- Invasive Species – Non-native species introduced by humans can outcompete or prey on native wildlife.
