The document discusses several key threats to species conservation: 1) species extinction which is largely caused by human activity that destroys habitats or uses elements of the environment, 2) poaching which kills many animals and accelerates extinction, 3) habitat destruction by human acts or disasters that impacts animal lives, 4) invasive species that humans move to new areas causing harmful ecological changes, and 5) endangered species such as pandas, foxes, and whales that are becoming rare to find. The group believes conservation is an important but difficult challenge for humanity going forward.
