Answer:

Humans often take too many of one species from their natural habitat. Typically, this involves a species used as a food source. When a species is harvested, or taken at a rate faster than the population can compensate for, the population is listed as overexploited, or overharvested. Think of this like a full cookie jar in a room full of hungry people. The more people that take cookies, the fewer are left in the jar. It takes time to bake more cookies, and if the cookies in the jar are eaten faster than they can be made, soon you run out of cookies!

When the population numbers of a species decline to the point where the animal or plant could possibly go extinct, or cease to exist, the organism is classified as endangered. Removing a species from their natural habitat can be detrimental. Not only does this threaten the biodiversity, or the variation of life within an ecosystem, but is also disrupts the balance of the ecosystem itself.
