Is cactus a no renewable resource?
No, cactus is a renewable resource because it can regrow after being harvested or cut.

In the late 1800s to early 1900s turtle soup was a popular delicacy. Overharvesting greatly reduced populations. Since 1990, the harvest of terrapins has been regulated. Yet they continue to struggle with predation, pollution and development of habitat, and drowning in commercial and recreational crab pots.
How did the production decline in guano islands?
The production decline in guano islands was due to overharvesting of the guano, which led to depletion of the resource. Additionally, competition from synthetic fertilizers made from ammonia contributed to the decline in demand for guano. Regulations to protect seabird populations also limited harvesting on some islands.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using conch shell?
Advantages: Conch shells are durable and can be used for decorative purposes, jewelry making, or as musical instruments. They are also culturally significant in various traditions and beliefs. Disadvantages: Unfortunately, harvesting conch shells can have negative consequences on marine ecosystems as it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem and harm the conch populations. Overharvesting can also lead to a decline in conch populations, impacting the biodiversity of the ocean.
Why is Easter Island treeless?
There are various explanations and theories for the almost-entirely treeless state of Easter Island. Climatic effects and deforestation and farming by humans are two explanations; the link below gives more information about Easter Island and its ecology. Answer --> Originally, it is not treeless. It was shown by archaeologist that trees such as Paschalococos, Alphitonia zizyphoides and Eleaocarpus rarotongensis use to be abundant. But as local population grew (to estimated 15,000), overharvesting becomes a problem. This coupled with rat predation and climate change leads to the island being largely deforested.
How does overharvesting damage diamonds?
It can't "damage" diamonds -but it might lower their cash value.Another AnswerDiamonds are mined, not harvested. There is no evidence that too many are being mined.Diamond is the hardest natural mineral, and can only be damaged by another diamond. Mining practices process diamonds in ways that minimize any damage to the raw stones. About 80% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds, meaning that the remaining 20% of gem-quality diamonds are more likely to survive the processing steps until they can be sorted out and handled differently from industrial diamonds.
