HIPPO is an acronym representing Habitat destruction, Invasive species, Pollution, Population growth, and Overharvesting, which are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss. Habitat destruction leads to the fragmentation and loss of ecosystems, while invasive species can outcompete native species, disrupting local ecosystems. Pollution harms wildlife and habitats, and population growth increases resource consumption, putting pressure on ecosystems. Overharvesting depletes populations faster than they can recover, threatening species survival and leading to extinction.
