Answer:

1. Deforestation. Cutting of trees results to the endangered habitats of animals and the soil compaction is becoming less and less.

2. Hunting. Killing animals mercilessly and selling them off reduces their numbers and increase the fear of humans

3. Genetic engineering. Modifying the cell structure of a plant or animal increases possible risk of cancer, toxicity in the soil and others.

Answer: Overharvesting, this can bring the species to extinction. Destruction of habitat is self explanatory, it can also lead to a lot of inbreeding which comes with mutations and not so good things. Pollution also fits in the same category of destruction of habitat also affecting the oxygen living things breathe.

Its correct on edge
