Explanation:
Local and global environmental issue:
Because of deforestation, habitat loss, overhunting, pollution, climate change, and other human activities, ecologists estimate that the current extinction rate is 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the background extinction rate. Extinction of any species results in the irrevocable loss of a portion of the Earth's biological diversity. Extinction can occur as a result of a natural disaster, prolonged environmental stress, or ecological interactions such as competition, disease, or predation.

- Amphibian numbers are dwindling.
- Climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, and trade all pose threats to reptiles.
