This question asked in 2012 prelims(upsc) exam... well promotion of vegetarianism is threat to Bio-diversity because Bio-diversity means all living organisms include plants ,animals(carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous animals )
if we promote only veg then what would tigers, lions n leopards eat .. this makes population of herbivorous animals in large and they eat all plants , grass land ect this inturn effects other small organisms.
Organic crops are non GMO, but GMO crops of the same kind can cross pollinate with them, resulting in contamination of the organic crops.
No, they do not. There are no laws that protect consumers if they do not want to eat GMOs. The consumers' only choice if they wish to avoid eating GMOs is to stop eating lots of foods that may contain GMOs.
GMOs (genetically modified food) may create allergies.
I just wrote an article that talks about GMOs. The GMO rice, called golden rice, is described under the section "GMOs Can Improve Nutrition."
GMOs are transgenic organisms. A gene is taken from one species and forced into another, which is what creates a transgenic organism.
Organic crops are non GMO, but GMO crops of the same kind can cross pollinate with them, resulting in contamination of the organic crops.
Because people are hunting down all the animals
Deforestation is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity in Latin America. The clearing of forests for agriculture, urbanization, and logging has led to the loss of habitat for many species, resulting in a decline in biodiversity. Climate change is also a significant threat, affecting ecosystems and species survival in the region.
Biodiversity hotspots are regions with exceptionally high levels of plant and animal species richness that are under threat from human activities. These areas are considered priorities for conservation efforts due to their unique and irreplaceable biodiversity.
Over-hunting has brought some animals to the brink of extinction.
The greatest threat to biodiversity is tourist because they have to make their tourist sites so all of the trees get cut down The greatest threat to most species is in fact climate change.

There is no known information that indicates GMOs are easier to grown than non-GMOs.
it makes species become smaller or disappear quickly
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. Biodiversity include the genetic variety among individuals in a species, the number of species in an ecosystem and the variety of ecosystems in the biosphere. The main factors causing the threat to biodiversity are pollution, habitat destruction, introduced species and overexploitation.
There is no evidence that GMOs have improved food production.
Global warming is a direct threat to biodiversity because it can directly impact ecosystems through changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and sea levels, which can result in habitat loss, shifts in species distributions, and increased extinction risks for many species.
