• habitat destruction, over hunting
• A) Extensive use of fossil fuels
  Also all the carbon from the Hugh forest fires brought on by drought that is going on everywhere. The result of climate change.The tundra in the Artic is also melting which holds extremely large amounts of methane.Which is 20 times worst then burning fossil fuels is being released. So we are at the tipping point now of runaway global warming!
• 1. human consumption (food)
  2. destruction of natural habitat or niche
  3. climatic change
  4. pollution
  5. hibernation (which results to false alarm of extinction, think coelecanth)
  6. disruption of food cycle like loss of food (low end of food chain) which leads to starvation of animals
  7. increase in number of predators due to imbalance in the food cycle
  8. illegal capture and selling of wildlife in black markets
  9. consumption of plants and animals as raw materials for clothing and other usage.
  10. inability to reproduce as some flora and fauna are monogamous so if their partners die, they don%26#039;t %26quot;remarry%26quot;.
• Habitat loss
  Habitat degradation
  Habitat fragmentation
  Alien (Invasive) species
  Pollution (Includes chemical pest control %26amp; fertilizers)
  Overexploitation
  Disease Restoration work in Southern California
• Typically there are three reasons
  1) Loss of Habitat (this can be due to increased construction, deforestation, fragmentation, using land for agriculture, and land used for recreation)
  2) Commercial Exploitation (over hunting, loss of food supply, and poaching)
  3) Introduced Species (Invasive non-native plants or animals brought into an area and out compete native plants, which creates lower diversity).
  
  I guess we could also include
  
  4) Increase in human population (the more people the Earth has to support the more resources we use).
  5)Consumerism (The need for more %26quot;stuff%26quot; bigger houses, boats, ATVs, and etc)
