    Biomagnification is the increasing concentration of contaminants like pesticides or heavy metals up the food chain, from prey to predator. Historically, contaminant levels in wildlife were lower, but as human activity has increased pollution, the baseline has shifted to higher concentrations currently found in animals like birds of prey. Looking ahead, predictions are that biomagnification will continue altering ecosystems unless pollution is reduced.
