    The document outlines five major threats to the environment: extinction, loss of habitat, degradation of the environment, pollution, and climate change. It notes that habitat loss is caused by activities like agriculture, development, and pollution. Environmental degradation stems from industrialization, population growth, modern farming practices, and urbanization. Pollution contaminates air, soil, water and increases noise levels, negatively impacting humans and wildlife. Finally, the document lists several ways climate change is impacting the planet, such as rising seas and temperatures, shrinking glaciers, and more extreme weather.
