Human Impact Dam's block fish migration routes and
destroy plants and animals Pollution from runoff of agriculture and
urban areas Global warming produces devastating
floods and droughts Invasion of exotic species harm native
animals and plants

Human Impact• Humans destroy habitat • 40% of fish species live in fresh water
• This has declined by 20% in the last 20 years
