goes extinct.

The current rate of extinction is 100 to 1,000 times higher thanthe expected natural rate.

!"# %&'& (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

The number one cause of extinction is habitat loss. Other

causes include overexploitation, the introduction of an exotic

species, and pollution.
