organisms that can adapt to changes in the environment. Human activities such
as deforestation, pollution, and overuse of natural resources have impacted
biodiversity, leading to the endangerment of several species and even
extinction. Conservation efforts are now focused on protecting endangered
species and promoting sustainable development.
