Why does overexploitation decrease biodiversity?
To understand how overexploitation decreases biodiversity we have to understand what overexploitation is. Overexploitation occurs when the number of individuals taken from a wild population is so great the population becomes severely reduced in numbers. As you know biodiversity is the variety of life on earth, described in terms of the number of different species. This being said human involvement in the environments is impacting the biodiversity. Mammals are being hunted for their hides, tusks, horns, or bones almost to the point of extinction. An example of this would be the Siberian tiger. Overfishing can cause a decline in biodiversity. Hopefully that helps!

Human disturbance of a community usually?

Can a tsunami cause extinction of a species?
Yes. If a certain area has a group of animals living in a compact space, that species could become extinct easily. Also, a tsunami could cover a large area, harming species and the food chain which could later lead to extinction.
Should you build a better road or save a species from extinction?
save a species from extinction.
What are the main causes of the extinct species?
One of the main cause for the extinction of species is hunting. Some causes like climatic changes may also lead to the extinction in species. Extinction of Neanderthals is one good example of climatic changes. At that age in Europe the temperature dropped down and it was impossible to survive over there for the Neanderthals and therefore, the Neanderthals died making them one of the extinct species today.
What is over exploitation?
Overexploitation is the disappearance of so many individuals that the population is cannot maintain itself. Since the 1600s, worldwide overexploitation of animals for food and other products has caused numerous species to become extinct or endangered.
