    Human activities like deforestation, pollution, and development projects threaten ecosystems in several ways. Deforestation reduces natural vegetation which can lead to increased soil erosion and landslides. It also decreases animals' habitats. Pollution introduces harmful changes. Construction activities such as clearing land for farms and buildings can extensively alter the environment and destroy ecosystems. Dams and draining wetlands also impact the balance of natural environments. These human impacts endanger many species by reducing their habitats and exposing them to threats.

    CHAPTER 9
    ENDANGERED ECOSYSTEM
    9.1: HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT ENDANGER AN ECOSYSTEM
    1. Types of activities that threaten the ecosystem
     Flash flooding
    -Rapid flooding of low-lying areas,rivers and creeks that is caused by the intense
    rainfall associated with thunderstorm.
     Landslide
    -Downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials composed of rocks,soils
    or artificial fills under the influence of gravitional and other force.
     Soil erosion
    -Increase by removing natural vegetation to clear land for construction project,mining
    operation,or farmland.
     Human activities
    -Deforestation such as clearing land for farms and town,lumbering,mining,building
    dams and draining wetland all alter the environment so extensively that ecosystem
    may be completely destroyed.
    -As tropical forests are cutbdown, animals have progressively smaller feeding and
    living space and they also become more accessible to hunters.
     Pollution
    -Harmful change in natural environment caused by human activities such as the
    release
