2. Our planet as we know is in its verge of extinction.
Humans play a key role in the biosphere, with the large
human population dominating many of Earth’s
ecosystems, This has resulted in a widespread,
ongoing mass extinction of other species during the
present geological epoch, now known as the Holocene
extinction .
3. Global change, natural disaster overexploitation of
species for human use or because of evolutionary
changes in their members (genetic inbreeding, poor
reproduction, decline in population numbers), these
are the main reasons for the extinction ahead.
4. Human overconsumption
Overconsumption is a situation where resource use
has outpaced the sustainable capacity of the
ecosystem. It can be measured by the ecological
footprint, a resource accounting approach with
compares human in ecosystems with the amount
of plant matter ecosystems can renew
5. Ecosystem
Human activity is causing environmental degradation,
which is the deterioration of the environment through
depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the
destruction of ecosystems; habitual destruction; the
extinction of wildlife; and pollution
6. Mass extinction
Since its introduction, Homo sapiens ( the human species) has
been killing off entire species either directly (such as through
hunting) or indirectly (Such as by destroying habitats), causing
the extinction of species at an alarming rate. Human are the
cause of the current mass extinction called the Holocene
extinction, driving extinctions.

8. Prevention
Change the way we view nature
Nature is not another asset class to be traded on the world’s
financial markets. Yet we see governments and business keen
to implement biodiversity offsetting, where biodiversity lost as a
result of development scheme is traded for the creation of
nature sites elsewhere . Most would consider it heinous to
develop of market in tradeable credits for children’s
happiness – so why is it deemed acceptable to trade
biodiversity?
9. stop burning fossil fuels
Protect half the Earth's land – and Oceans
Fight illegal wildlife trafficking.
Slow the population growth.
afforestation
Reconnect with the natural world and open our
eyes
Use eco-friendly items in place of plastics.
Encourage greenery in your locality .
10. So to make a better world we have to start working from now,
and making people be more aware of the world they live in by
using eco friendly items in their daily lives etc.
small acts of kindness can go along way in making the
world a better place.
Plant an Herbs, Vegetable, or Flower Garden Everyone wins.
And to always stop a person from polluting the surroundings.
