Human activities have significantly alatered the biosphere, sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing the extinction of other species. but changes to Earth's environment can have different impacts (negative and positive) for different living things. Typically, as human populations and per capita consumption of natural resources increase, so do the negative impacts on Earth unless the activities and technologies involved are engineered otherwise.
