After you have finished your analysis, you must list specific examples of each threat to the environment that you have read about, heard about or experienced in first person.  Think about things you may have seen in a newspaper or heard on the evening news, things we may have talked about in class.  If you are having difficulty, feel free to do some of your own research on the Internet.
