Other effects besides deforestation caused by those human activities listed in the picture, can be the pollution of oceans due to oil extraction, and the loss of hundreds or thousands of marine organisms, but also the impact this causes on species that feed on fishes, like birds.

Regarding cattle breeding, it is known that the digestion process of the livestock produce tons of greenhouse gases, like methane, or CH4, which warn the Earth's atmosphere progressively.

Another consequence of these activities, especially the agricultural expansion, could be the extinction of plant species used by animals, for example, to consume their fruits or leaves, or to find places to rest, resulting in an eventual extinction of animal species too.
