1. Biodiversity
Extinction
By Jesus Sandoval C51

2. Animals and Plants are going extinct
In today’s world many plants and animal species are going extinct because of
humans in one way or another. Humans are so blinded by greed that they don’t
care if they have to destroy many plant and animal ecosystems just to extract
raw materials from the Earth. They also pollute the air and water ways by a
variety of ways around the world.

3. Amazon Deforestation
When humans cut down massive forests such as the Amazon forest, they are
destroying plant and animals ecosystems in the process of doing it. The trees
that are cut down result in tree animals such as lizards, birds, primates to loss
their home. These animals are eventually killed by another animals because now
they’re exposed to predators on the ground. Many birds die due to the fact that
they don't have the trees that they are used to having. Since many of the trees
were cut down, many mammals and bird species that live on top of the trees are
now vulnerable because they don’t have the cover they had before the trees
were cut down.

4. Deforestation From 1996-2019

6. Water Pollution
Water is polluted every single day by a variety of ways. One of the main
contributors to water pollution are production plants. A lot of companies and
plants dump their waste into our water system which will eventually end up in
our drinking water one way or another. The fish and water animals are directly
affected from the water pollution because that is where they live, eat , drink,
and mate. The water pollution takes a toll on them causing them to mutate or
they even right out die.

7. This pi graph shows us where
most of the water polluting is
happening. It tells which
department pollutes a lot,
medium, and low.

8. Air Way Pollution
There is also a vast amount of air pollution that is happening right now by
several methods such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests (like
The Amazon Rainforest), methane that cows and other livestock produce
and many other reasons. The pollutants that airplanes use to dust crop
fields. Polluting the air as well as the plants that the chemical falls on.
That pollution will end up going full circle. It falls from the sky which some
particles still remain in the air, then it falls on the crops, which then bugs
eat the polluted plants, which then transfers over to rodents and birds
when they eat the crops.
