    The document outlines the five main threats to ecosystems: habitat loss which endangers over 80% of species; pollution which disrupts earth's ecosystems through chemicals and fossil fuels; rapidly increasing climate change which is changing growing patterns and migration faster than ecosystems can adjust; overexploitation which harvests species faster than they can reproduce; and invasive species which threaten native species and were often introduced by human action.

    Threats to the Ecosystem (Subtypes)

     Habitat loss, which is the lead threat to biodiversity and


    contributes to the endangerment of over 80 percent of all
    species.
     Pollution, including the use of chemicals, fossil fuels and
    plastics, which disrupts the earth’s ecosystems, injuring
    species and changing their habits.
     Rapidly increasing climate change, which is changing
    growing patterns, food availability and migration patterns
    faster than ecosystems and species can adjust.
     Overexploitation, which is the over-harvesting of species
    faster than they can naturally reproduce.
     Invasive species, which are often introduced by human
    action and can threaten native species and their ecosystems.
