Go to your MindTap course to access the GREENR database. Starting on the home page, under “Browse Issues and Topics”, click on Environment and Ecology, then select Extinction, and scroll to statistics on the portal page. Click on “Known Causes of Animal Extinction since 1600.” You will find four general categories of causes. Thinking about history from 1600 through today, how do you think humans have changed their impact on species in each of these categories? Has the impact increased or decreased over this period? Give specific examples of changes in this timeframe to support your answers.
