Loss/degradation of habitat
Overexploitation of resources
Pollution
Extinction of species due to
aggressive non-native species
Global environmental changes
1. Loss/degradation of habitat
2. Overexploitation of resources
3. Pollution
Biodegradable waste degrades
Non-biodegradable or less
biodegradable waste remains in the
environment and enters our food
chain
These wastes are very toxic
e.g. DDT which affects all types of
birds (peacocks, hawks, kites, etc.)
Pollution in various forms is
responsible for global climatic
changes and for extinction of the
species
