Toxic chemicals threaten animals.
Toxic chemicals released by industry pollute rivers, land and the air. They threathen the
health of wildlife. Because of chemical contamination animals suffer .
Deforestation:
Deforestation destroys the wildlife. It causes the extinction of many species and reduces biodiversity. Trees absorb carbon dioxide so less trees means increased global warming.
The ozone layer depletionThe ozone layer depletion
The ozone layer that protects the Earth from the harmful ultrviolet (UV) radiation is damaged by CFCs (chloro-fluorocarbons). CFCs are substances that come from fridges, aerosol cans and other products.

Carbon dioxide and other harmful gases which are produced by factories, cars and power stations increase the greenhouse effect, which has a negative impact on global warming.
