Destruction of Habitat
Humans destroy precious habitat--the natural environment of
a living thing--when they fill swamps and marshes, dam rivers
and cut down trees to build homes, roads and other
developments.
Pollution
Oil spills, acid rain and water pollution have been devastating
for many species of fish and birds.
Hunting and Fishing
Many animals are over-hunted because their meat, fur and
other parts are very valuable.
Exotic Species
When animals or plants arrive into a new habitat from a
foreign place they sometimes introduce diseases that the
native species can't fight. These "exotic" species can also
prey on the native species.
The advantages of biological control

1.Do not pollute the environment

2. Cost effective over the long term

3.Do not affect non targeted living

organisms

2.The result is not instant.it takes time
