Question

(Medals!!!) Please answer.

Florida panthers have had to adapt to a changing environment. How did this almost cause the extinction of the species?

Answer 1

1. Habitat Destruction is one of the most obvious forms of damage to ecosystems today.
2. Fragmentation is a form of habitat destruction in that much of the original habitat gets removed or modified, leaving patches of the remaining habitat.
3. Introduced species create major problems. This form of destruction happens without direct human interference, once the introduced species is released.
4. Over harvesting refers to the catching of wild populations of animals, which are left to their own devices to recover their numbers.
5. Local forms of pollution may be absorbed by a large healthy ecosystem. Excessive release of chemicals over extended time periods will poison forests and render lakes almost sterile.
