human activity such as littering can affect the extinction of plants and animals in many ways. the plants can take in the harmful chemicals from products left around that were absorbed in the soil and could poison them. This would cause them to die. Animals could eat the stuff lieing around and could cholk and die. I dont really now this 100% but i know it can happen.

∙ 11y agoHuman habitat destruction, fragmentation, and predation have a marked impact on the rate of extinction. The earth is currently in what is known as the Sixth Extinction event and it is presumed that humans are the precipitating factor - meaning the primary cause.
To get an idea on how humans impact rates of extinction, try looking into late Pleistocene overkill and blitzkrieg theories which demonstrate that humans, even in a prehistoric era, can drastically impact species.
