Overexploitation can occur in a variety of contexts, including hunting, fishing, forestry, and mining.

Overexploitation can lead to a number of negative consequences, including the extinction of species, the degradation of ecosystems, and the loss of biodiversity.

There are a number of ways to prevent overexploitation, including sustainable harvesting practices, habitat protection, and education and awareness.

Consumers can play a role in preventing overexploitation by choosing sustainable products, supporting conservation organizations, and educating themselves and others about overexploitation.

Sustainable harvesting practices are designed to minimize the impact of harvesting on the environment and ensure that the resource is not depleted.
