Habitat loss is the primary cause of higher extinction rates. Other causes include habitat changes, over-exploitation of wildlife for commercial purposes, the introduction of harmful nonnative species, pollution, and the spread of diseases. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 47,000 species are currently threatened with extinction.
