A)Illegal and
Excessive Logging
1.
Humans
cut down trees to get wood or to clear land for farming.
2.
Logging
activities become a threat to many species when they are carried out on a large
scale.
3.
Some
of the logging activities are illegal. They are carried out by irresponsible
people who want to get quick profit.
4.
Illegal
logging involves logging without licence, logging outside licensed areas and
unauthorised construction of infrastructure and forest roads.
5.
These
illegal and excessive logging activities cause many habitats to be destroyed.
6.
The
loss of one plant species can lead to the extinction of many more species.
7.
This
is because many species depend on the species of plant for their food and shelter.
B) Illegal and
Excessive Hunting
1.
Some
animals are hunted by humans for food or for commercial gains.
2.
Illegal
hunters always hunt these animals to make profit or just for fun.
3.
Tigers
are hunted and killed for their skins. The skins are made into coats.
4.
Deer
are killed by people for their meat.
5.
Elephants
are hunted for their ivory. Ivory is crafted into beautiful objects.
6.
The
rhinoceros is killed for its horn. Some people believe that the horn can be
used as medicine.
7.
Illegal
and excessive hunting causes these animals to become extinct.
C) Excessive
Development
1.
The
world's population keeps increasing every day.
2.
Therefore,
people need more resources and more land.
3.
People
are using more resources such as wood to build houses.
4.
People
need more land for farming and development.
5.
The
increasing demand for land and wood causes many forest areas to be cleared.
6.
The
forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
7.
When
an area of forest is developed into a city, farm or residential area, the
wildlife in the forest becomes extinct.
8.
A large number of species will be extinct if
development is not properly planned.
