Species that belong to tướng an area are said to tướng be native species. Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to tướng the local environment and to tướng the presence of other native species in the same general habitat Exotic species are interlopers, foreigll elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. ln one context an mtroduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being iust as "n tural" as any nat lve species in the same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences anse when introduced species put native species in destructiơn by preying on them, altering theừ habitats, or Out-competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, Where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the glave endangerment or oưtright extinction of literally hundreds of species danng the past 500 years.
One of other reason to tướng cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to tướng the ưtihzation of a species at a rate that is likely to tướng cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction. Among many examples of severe overexploitat lon, the case ofthe gleat whales stands out in special relief By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to tướng incredibly low population sizes. In response to tướng public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to tướng an intemational moratonum on whaling. As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to tướng have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the westem Pactfic. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to tướng suffer high rates of exploitation because ofthe trade in animal palts. Cunently. the demand for animal palts is centered in several parts of Asia where there. is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items lượt thích tiger bone and rhino hom.
