  2. What is EnvironmentalDegradation? • The deterioration of theenvironmentthroughdepletionofresources, suchas air, water and soil. • The destruction of ecosystems and theextinction of wildlife. • Whennaturalhabitatsaredestroyedornaturalresourcesaredepleted, theenvironment is degraded.

Factors of EnvironmentalDegradation • Therearetwofactorsthat lead toenvironmentaldegradation: • Naturalfactorsincludesdroughts, stormsonsea, land and desertssuchashurricanes, tornadoes, catrinaandvolcaniceruptions. Thesefactors lead tolanddegradationcausedbyerosion. • Human factorsincludesdeforestation, industrialization and urbanization. Thesefactors lead towater, air and landpollution.

  7. Red -necked goose is one of  the  most attractive goose  species and legally protected but hunting  continues regardless. The    Great Bustard was  fairly widespread in   Hungary  but hunting and modern farming practices have  led to a dramatic contraction in  its  range.

  10. The Saker Falcon is a large hierofalcon, larger than the Lanner Falcon and almost as large as Gyrfalcon at 47–55 cm length with a wingspan of 105–129 cm. Its broad blunt wings give it a shadow similar to Gyrfalcon, but its plumage is more similar to a Lanner Falcon's.

  11. The wild  cat is a small  cat found  throughout most  of  Europe. Because of its wide range it is classed as least  concern.

  12. LynxTheir numbers in Hungary hardly exceed 20. The main reason probably is the fact that the Eurasian lynx inhabit forests with dense cover of shrubs, reeds, and tall grass. The hunting area of an average lynx is from 20 to 60 km2 and it can tread more than 20 km during one night.we can only hope that these magnificient creatures are here to stay in Hungary for good.

  13. Danube salmon is endemic to the Danube basin in Europe, where the remaining population is threatened by overfishing and habitat loss.

  14. .Conservationists have  pointed out , that  the number  of swallows reduced  dramatically in  Hungary. If this   tendency doesn't change , they will have  been threatened  with extinction by 2020.
