Overexploitation of resources
The anthropogenic exploitation of wildlife has occurred throughout human history, leading to biodiversity loss and extinctions; however, the recent rate of loss has accelerated sharply. The most overexploited species include marine fish, invertebrates, trees, tropical vertebrates hunted for bushmeat, and species harvested for the medicinal and pet trade.
This category only includes biotic resources, ie ressources from living organisms.
