If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

HIPPO

HIPPO is an acronym used to describe the destruction of a species. The letters stand for:

Habitat destruction
Invasive species
Pollution
Population
Overharvesting

Usually, it all starts with Population. Too many people consume the land/sea area and the accompanying resources (Habitat destruction); introduce their own pigs and other animals that displace the native species (Invasive species); contaminate the soil and/or sea area, thereby wiping out more species (Pollution); which makes humans hunt even more to the point of (near?) extinction of the species (Overharvesting).
