      Pollution in general, not clean water, not enough food. But it will not become extinction of all humans. But it could affect many many humans. We are not that close to extinction yet, but we have to take care of our environment.

      People have woken up to the fact that we need oxygen to breathe so trees are vital ❗ Therefore a lot of new trees are being planted at the same time as deforestation happens. I don’t think humans could ever truly be wiped out, though. Remember, even at the very start of homo sapiens a hundred thousand years ago, there were only a few thousand humans on the planet. They spread and multiplied and became the 7 billion population we have now. Life will go on!
