    Read Explanation:

    • The overexploitation of natural resources is one of the major environmental problems.

    • These problems arise from the over-exploitation of any species with a high commercial value, without taking into account the population, appropriate use, breeding periods and size of the species.

    • Regarding forestry resources, throughout the world this resource has been overexploited for various reasons, from ploughing for agriculture and livestock farming, to the felling of timber and firewood.

    • The extraction of wood is the start of a series of problems, such as the opening of roads through forest areas, noise, and pressure on plant and animal resources.

    • When these situations arise, habitats are fragmented and some species do not survive in that environment.
