PROBLEMS

CAUSES
-Forest fires. -Massive soil for agriculture. -Erosion. -Contamination. -Global warming. -Acid rain. -The thining of the ozone layer, -The contamination of the air. -Over explotation. -Contamination, -Damage to natural habitats. -The genetic selection carried out to agriculture.

CONSEQUENCES
-Humidity and water decrease. -Animal and plant species become extinct. -Loss of biodiversity. -Urban waste. -Inadequate agricultural and farming practices. -Climate change. -Damage vegetion,water and soil. -Increase in skin cancer. -Respiratory desenses worse.
