Answer in short one sentences

Answer 1

1. Figure 5: "Deforestation for agriculture reduces forest cover, leading to habitat loss and increased carbon emissions."
   Figure 6: "Plastic pollution in waterways demonstrates how improper waste disposal harms marine life and disrupts ecosystems."
   Figure 7: "Overfishing depletes fish populations, threatening food security and livelihoods for coastal communities."

2. Abusing the resource in the photograph of overfishing will lead to diminished fish stocks, affecting food supply and income for fishermen now, and risking ecosystem balance for future generations.

3. More people in the world increases the demand for food, water, energy, and materials, intensifying the pressure on natural resources.
