Overexploitation, also called overharvesting, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns. ... The term applies to natural resources such as: wild medicinal plants, grazing pastures, game animals, fish stocks, forests, and water aquifers.
Overfishing and overhunting are both types of overexploitation. Currently, about a third of the world's endangered vertebrates are threatened by overexploitation. Two birds that were victims of overhunting are passenger pigeons and great auks (a type of bird). Both were hunted to extinction.
