Extinction crisis

The extinction crisis refers to the rapidly increasing rate at which species of plants, animals, and insects are disappearing from Earth. This decline is driven by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overhunting. When species go extinct, it disrupts ecosystems, threatening the balance of life and reducing biodiversity, which is vital for ecosystem health and human well-being. The crisis highlights the urgent need to protect endangered species and preserve natural habitats to ensure a sustainable future for all living beings.
