Question
Chapter 40, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The human population growth contributes to each of the main factors causing species extinctions.
Concept introduction:
The over expanded population became a threat to the species extinction. The situation of biodiversity becomes worse because of the increasing human population. The increased human population is indirectly responsible for the species extinction.
