An increase in population causes more houses to be built, which destroys forests and animal's habitats. Less forests and animals = biodiversity loss
The major causes of depletion of biodiversity in India include habitat loss due to deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture expansion; overexploitation of natural resources such as hunting and fishing; pollution from industries and agriculture; and invasive species disrupting native ecosystems.
Reducing biodiversity of a population can result in a loss of allele and reduced overall fitness, ultimately resulting in a decrease in genetic diversity. This reduced population is now vulnerable to diseases due to reduced biodiversity (e.g. Great Irish Famine).
The problem with evolution is that there is nothing that we can do to stop it that will not also cause a massive loss of biodiversity.
Construction of buildings,soil theft,all forms of pollution,loss of water reservoires,Carelessness of the public(educated people) is major cause for everything.
Overpopulation leads to habitat destruction as more land is cleared for human settlement and resources, resulting in loss of biodiversity. Increased demand for food and resources also puts pressure on ecosystems, leading to overexploitation of natural resources and disruption of ecological balance, contributing to the decline of species and loss of biodiversity.
One example of a threat to biodiversity that isn't directly due to humans is natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. These events can cause significant ecological disturbances and impact biodiversity by altering habitats and causing species loss.
Ecosystem decline Loss of biodiversity Global climate change Increasing population growth
The primary cause of biodiversity loss on Earth is habitat destruction, primarily due to human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. These activities fragment ecosystems and eliminate the natural habitats that species depend on for survival. Additionally, climate change, pollution, overexploitation of resources, and the introduction of invasive species further exacerbate the decline in biodiversity. Together, these factors create a critical threat to ecosystems and the services they provide.
Deforestation results in the Loss of Biodiversity.
loss of habitat
Rapid population growth impacts biodiversity through habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation of resources. However, it does not directly contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. Instead, increased human activity typically leads to habitat fragmentation and loss, which threaten the survival of various species. Thus, while population growth challenges biodiversity, it does not aid in its conservation.
