PROTECTING ECOSYSTEMS: OVEREXPLOITATION


Sometimes people take more animals or plants than the ecosystem can produce.
This is called overexploitation.
If we continue doing this, the animals or plants could become extinct.
One example is overfishing.
Sometimes people catch too many of one type of fish.
These fish are in danger of extinction.
This is happening to tuna fish and anchovies.
