As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Virunga is technically protected from such invasive exploitation by international convention, meaning that Kinshasa will have to declassify part or all of the park to get at its oil.

Second, there is increasing attention given to quantifying the reinforcing (or occasionally stabilising) feedbacks between climate change and other impacts of human development, such as agricultural activities and land clearing, invasive species, exploitation of natural resources, and biotic interactions.
Habitat loss, landscape fragmentation, exploitation, invasive species, environmental contamination, and global warming are persistent challenges to all biodiversity, including reptiles.
Threats to biodiversity are widely discussed [66] and include the usual list of pressures (pollution, exploitation, invasive species, effects of human activities, and habitat loss), varying, of course, in importance around the Australian coastline, depending on population densities and the locations of industries.
The genetic variation of their component populations comprises the raw material underlying overall and local adaptedness, providing resilience to anthropogenic stressors –such as climate change, habitat alteration and loss, invasive species, and exploitation [ 1, 2].
In addition to the ever-present threat of habitat loss caused by our growing footprint on the planet, species now face growing threats from climate change, invasive species, over-exploitation and pollution.
The report warns that many species face increased extinction risk as climate change adds to existing pressures such as habitat loss, exploitation, pollution and invasive species.
In addition to this exploitation competition advantage, invasive ants are often highly aggressive towards native ants [ 27- 29], and this is also true for L. neglectus [ 30].
"A large fraction of both terrestrial and freshwater species face increased extinction risk under projected climate change during and beyond the 21st century, especially as climate change interacts with other stressors such as habitat modification, over-exploitation, pollution and invasive species," it says.
Jared Diamond dubbed the reasons for biodiversity loss as the 'evil quartet' - habitat loss, over-exploitation of species, invasive species together with the exotic diseases they introduce, and the breakdown of ecological networks.
Land-based and freshwater wildlife species face an increased risk of extinction under the projected climate change scenarios for the century, especially as global warming interacts with other factors such as habitat changes, exploitation by humans, and invasive species.
