The article focuses on the alarming rate of species extinction caused by human activities, highlighting the fact that humanity has driven between 777 and 260,000 species to extinction. The reasons for this include overhunting, pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Overhunting has led to the extinction of species like the dodo and passenger pigeon, while animals like elephants and rhinos are endangered due to poaching. Pollution also affects marine life and birds, while deforestation and urbanization threaten species like red pandas and orangutans. Climate change on the other hand disrupts ecosystems, endangering species such as polar bears and monarch butterflies. In order to reduce these detrimental effects introducing nature reserves, reducing waste, avoiding palm oil products, and using renewable energy will reduce the damage that is being done.

Aquatic pollution is a growing crisis caused by industrial waste, agricultural runoff, plastic pollution, and untreated sewage. These contaminants degrade water quality, harming ecosystems, human health, and economies. As a result of this, there is a loss of biodiversity, toxic algal blooms, waterborne diseases, and economic losses in fisheries and tourism. In Malta, key pollution issues include industrial discharge in Grand Harbour, agricultural nutrient pollution, plastic waste, and inadequate wastewater treatment. Conservation efforts, such as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), aim to mitigate these effects. To reduce these harmful effects, the following solutions can be implemented: stricter regulations, public awareness campaigns, and technological innovations like advanced wastewater treatment and plastic recycling. However, urgent global action is required to restore water quality and protect marine ecosystems.
