THREATS
an expression of intention to
inflict evil, injury, or mage. - a
person or thing likely to cause
damage or danger.
NATURE
refers to the physical world,
including living things and their
non-living environment.
KINDS OF THREATS TO
NATURE
1. Climate Change
2. Pollution
3. Habitat Loss and
Degradation
4. Overexploitation
of Resources
5. Invasive Species
6. Deforestation
7. Overpopulation
8. Human Activities
CLIMATE
CHANGE
refers to the long-term
shifts in temperature and
weather patterns. Such
shifts can be natural, due to
changes in the sun's activity,
large volcanic eruptions, or
human activities
POLLUTION
- the introduction of harmful
and materials into
environments.
harmful materials pollutants
TYPES OF POLLUTION
AIR
POLLUTION
WATER
POLLUTION
LAND
POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTION
contamination of the indoor or
outdoor environment vy any
chemical, physical, or biologival
agent that modifies the natural
characteristics of the
athmosphere.
WATER
POLLUTION
the release of
substances into bodies
of water that makes
water unsafe for
human use and disrupts
aquatic ecosystems.
the deterioration of the
earth's land surfaces and
below ground level. This
includes social waste,
deforestation chemical,
and agricultural activities
LAND
POLLUTION
HABITAT LOSS AND
DEGRADATION
the destruction, fragmentation, or
reduction in the quality of an environment
where species live, leading to a decline in
their ability to thrive
a non-native organism
that, when introduced to a
nes environment, causes
harm to the ecosystem, the
economy, or human health.
INVASIVE
SPECIES
a situation where the population of a
species exceeds the carrying capacity of
its environment. this can lead to various
problems, including environmental
degradation resource depletion, and
social challenges.
OVER
POPULATION
DEFORESTATION
refers to the clearing of trees
and forests for other uses,
such as agriculture,
urbanization resource
extraction. the purposeful
clearing of forested land.
HUMANACTIVITIES
everything people do, both
intentionally and
unintentionally, posing
numerous threats to natural
ecosystems and biodiversity.
FACTORS OF THREATS TO
NATURE
DEFORESTATION
Cutting down
forests for
agriculture,
logging, or urban
development
destroys habitats
and affects
biodiversity.
POLLUTION
Air, water, and
soil pollution from
industrial,
agricultural, and
household waste
harm ecosystems
and wildlife.
CLIMATE CHANGE OVERPOPULLATION
Caused by excessive
greenhouse gas
emissions, it leads to
global warming,
rising sea levels, and
extreme weather
events.
Increases demand
for natural
resources, leading
to overexploitation
and environmental
degradation.
FACTORS OF THREATS TO
NATURE
LOSS OF
BIODIVERSITY
Extinction of
species due to
habitat
destruction,
pollution, or climate
change reduces
ecosystem
stability.
URBANIZATION
Expanding cities
consume land and
resources, often
leading to habitat
loss and increased
pollution
AGRICULTURAL
PRACTICES
Use of chemical
fertilizers and
pesticides can harm
soil health, water
systems, and nontarget species.
INVASIE SPECIES
Non-native species
introduced by
humans can disrupt
local ecosystems
and drive native
species to
extinction.
FACTORS OF THREATS TO
NATURE
INDUSTRIALITION
Rapid industrial growth often comes with increased
emissions, waste, and land use, which harm the
environment.
SERIOUSNESS OF
THREAT TO NATURE
The threats to nature are
serious and widespread, impacting
global ecosystems and human
societies.
FIVE KEY DRIVERS OF
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
1. CHANGES IN LAND AND SEA -it refers to
the most identified as the main driver of
“unprecedented” biodiversity and ecosystem
change over the past 50 years. Threequarters of the land-based environment and
about 66% of the marine environment have
been significantly altered by human actions.
FIVE KEY DRIVERS OF
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
2. DIRECT EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES -refers to the extraction and
utilization of Earth's resources for human
purposes, such as logging, mining, and fishing.
This exploitation can have significant
negative impacts on the environment and
ecosystems, including biodiversity loss,
pollution, and resource depletion.
FIVE KEY DRIVERS OF
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
3.CLIMATE CHANGE CRISIS -A rising
temperatures are fueling environmental
degradation, natural disasters, weather
extremes, food and water insecurity,
economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.
Sea levels are rising, the Arctic is melting,
coral reefs are dying, oceans are acidifying,
and forests are burning.
FIVE KEY DRIVERS OF
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
4. POLLUTION -the introduction of harmful
materials into the environment. These
harmful materials are called pollutants.
Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic
ash. They can also be created by human
activity, such as trash or runoff produced
by factories. Pollutants damage the quality
of air, water, and land.
FIVE KEY DRIVERS OF
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
5.INVASIVE SPECIES -a non-native
organism that, when introduced to a new
environment, can cause harm to the
ecosystem, economy, or human health
