Their environment is being destroyed by deforestation. This is creating many threats to all species including the new chameleon population.

Species who's environment is being changed are very likely to die off because they can't survive to their new environment. Wildlife are declining rapidly due to the changed in their climate. Pollution can lead to Climate Change which can then lead to things like Habitat Destruction or species extinction.

Many believe that because the beaver was indigenous to the ecosystem, it is more harmful in their absence and the beaver’s reintroduction could stabilize the Britain’s environment, especially in Wales.

releases into the shores of mexico by either owners of the fish or aquariums housing the fish these fish have teared up the algae along the coast and gone rampant with no natural predators  mexico has tried many things to get rid of the fish such as trying to turn it into a high class dish and giving it to refuges coming into the country

This comes from climate change due to humans every time we brun/use gas, coal or oil.

Because of this ,artificial lights are used more and more and light pollution is growing at a rapid rate. This affects organisms everywhere and plays huge roles on ecosystems and habits of animals.

They found out that this species is in danger of becoming extinct because of the mass loss of habitats in Madagascar. Deforestation for firewood and the burning of charcoal for energy, is affecting the population of this species along with many other ones who live in Madagascar.

The company was awarded 24 million dollars for their work to increase biodiversity in food.

Scientists fear that it may be the biggest die off yet and about 5% of the worlds coral reefs will die this year.
