 Boycott – rare animals’ body part
for fashion items such as
crocodiles’ skin for bags and
rhinoceros’ horn for jewelries
 Minimize/ Curb – overhunting /

Plants:
+ Overlogging, overgrazing + soil
erosions – root causes of dwindling
vegetation.

species – make many flora and
fauna face extinction risk.
+ Rain forest destruction :
Despite strong opposition for lumber
harvesting, this problem continues:
People have an ever-growing appetite for
