Reading Passage:

"The Threats to Our Natural World"
The natural world faces numerous threats, including deforestation, which destroys habitats and reduces biodiversity. As forests are cleared, many animals and plants lose their homes, leading to an increase in endangered species. Another significant issue is climate change, caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which disrupts ecosystems and contributes to extreme weather events. Additionally, soil erosion occurs due to deforestation and poor farming practices, further harming the environment. Protecting the planet requires immediate action to reduce these threats and promote sustainable living.
