Habitat loss is the leading threat to fish and wildlife resources in many states. As human populations grow and develop more land for housing, agriculture, and other purposes, natural habitats are destroyed or fragmented, making it difficult for fish and wildlife to survive.
2. Pollution:
Pollution from industrial activities, agriculture, and urban runoff is another major threat to fish and wildlife resources. Pollutants can enter water bodies and soil, contaminating food sources and harming fish and wildlife habitats. Air pollution can also contribute to respiratory problems in animals and damage their ability to reproduce.
3. Overexploitation:
Overexploitation of fish and wildlife resources is a significant problem in many states. Hunting, fishing, and other forms of harvesting can reduce populations of fish and wildlife to unsustainable levels, especially when not properly managed. Overexploitation can also disrupt natural food chains and ecosystems.
