EXTINCTION OF SPECIES
1. Endangered
- Explanation: A species that is at risk of becoming extinct in the near future.
- Example: The giant panda is considered an endangered species due to habitat loss and low birth rates.
- Collocations: Endangered species, critically endangered, endangered wildlife.
2. Threatened
- Explanation: A species that is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future if current trends continue.
- Example: The polar bear is classified as a threatened species due to melting ice habitats.
- Collocations: Threatened species, threatened wildlife, threatened habitats.
3. Vulnerable
- Explanation: A species that is at risk of becoming endangered due to various factors such as habitat loss or climate change.
- Example: The African elephant is considered vulnerable because of habitat destruction and poaching.
- Collocations: Vulnerable species, vulnerable populations, vulnerable habitats.
4. Conservation
- Explanation: The protection and management of natural resources and wildlife to prevent extinction and preserve ecosystems.
- Example: Conservation efforts for sea turtles include nesting site protection and reducing bycatch.
- Collocations: Wildlife conservation, conservation efforts, conservation strategies.
5. Extinction
- Explanation: The permanent loss of a species from the planet when no individuals of that species remain alive.
- Example: The dodo is an example of a species that went extinct due to human activity.
- Collocations: Species extinction, mass extinction, extinction event.
6. Poaching
- Explanation: Illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, often for trade or to use their parts.
- Example: Rhino poaching is a major issue due to the demand for their horns.
- Collocations: Wildlife poaching, poaching activities, anti-poaching measures.
7. Habitat Destruction
- Explanation: The process by which natural habitats are altered or eliminated, leading to loss of biodiversity and endangerment of species.
- Example: Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest leads to habitat destruction for countless species.
- Collocations: Habitat destruction, habitat loss, forest habitat destruction.
8. Overexploitation
- Explanation: The excessive use of natural resources or wildlife, leading to depletion and potential extinction.
- Example: Overfishing can lead to the decline of fish populations and disrupt marine ecosystems.
- Collocations: Overexploitation of resources, overexploitation of species, sustainable management to prevent overexploitation.
9. Invasive Species
- Explanation: Non-native species that, when introduced to a new habitat, cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health.
- Example: The Asian tiger mosquito is an invasive species that spreads diseases in new regions.
- Collocations: Invasive species management, invasive species control, invasive plant species.
10. Climate Change
- Explanation: Long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns caused by human activities, affecting ecosystems and species survival.
- Example: Climate change leads to habitat shifts, affecting polar bears’ ability to hunt and find food.
- Collocations: Climate change impacts, climate change adaptation, climate change mitigation.
