Exploitation of Peoples: Native populations suffered greatly. They lost their land and faced violence. For example, when settlers took valuable materials, it often meant hard and dangerous work for the local people.
Environmental Damage: The never-ending search for resources led to serious problems like cutting down too many trees, ruining the soil, and losing many types of plants and animals. This really hurt the natural balance of the environment.

By learning about these issues and taking action, we can help fix the negative impacts of colonization and resource hunting.
