- human activity and loss of habitats = human activity are causing a loss of biological diversity among animals and plants globally estimated at 50 to 100 times at the average rate of species loss in the absence of human activities.
- deforestation = forests ecosystem contains as much as 80 percent of the worlds terrestrial biodiversity and provide wood fibre and biomass energy as well as water, energy and nutrition.
- desertification = desertification is the process of the results of poor land management which can be aggravated by climate variations.
- Marine environment = oceans play a vital role in the global environment . Covering 70 percent of the earth surface , they influence global climate, food production and economic activities.
