What are some ways resources are over-exploited?

Resources are over-exploited through unsustainable practices such as deforestation, overfishing, and excessive groundwater extraction. Agricultural expansion often leads to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity, while fossil fuel extraction can result in habitat destruction and pollution. Additionally, the demand for minerals and metals drives mining practices that can irreversibly damage ecosystems. These activities deplete Natural Resources faster than they can regenerate, threatening environmental balance and future resource availability.
