Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity

Habitat destruction is the key one out of all of these. Animals being kept at the zoo for research are usually endangered or vulnerable species which is doing more good than harm to them. Legal hunting of animals is most likely for rabbits, deer, and a stabilized population in the wild. Habitat destruction can destroy many populations and cause loads of damage. An example of that would be the Australian wildfires at the start of 2020.
