Detailed explanation-4: -For the latter, some of the many possible contributors include climate change, global nuclear annihilation, biological warfare, and ecological collapse. Other scenarios center on emerging technologies, such as advanced artificial intelligence, biotechnology, or self-replicating nanobots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Exotic species introduced by humans into new habitats. Over-harvesting of fish, trees, and other organisms. Global climate change, largely due to the burning of fossil fuels.
