The greatest threat facing the majority of endangered species is habitat loss. As human settlements, industry, and resource accumulation increase, the amount of wild, unaltered habitat on earth is shrinking. Additionally, the commercialization of many species (fish and palm oil, for example) are putting additional pressures on the global ecosystem.
