English Grade 5 Comprehension: Saving the Environment Comprehension: Read the article carefully, then answer the questions: Nature is in more trouble now than ever before in human history. More than one million species are on the brink of extinction. All of that is according to a new report from the United Nations. It is the first U.N. report to take an in-depth look at the health of the Earth’s plant and animal species. According to the report, the greatest threat to plants and animals is habitat loss. This happens when humans use land and water for purposes such as farming, fishing, and building cities. According to the summary, three-quarters of Earth’s land-based environment has been “significantly changed by human actions.” The summary also says that plastic pollution is ten times as bad as it was in 1980. And it warns that if global warming continues, climate change could harm species even more than habitat loss. Andrew Purvis is one of the authors of the report. He and other researchers say it isn’t too late to fix the problem. “The key to remember is, we can change this,” Purvis told the Associated Press.
