How do humans affect biodiversity?

Answer 1

Humans usually affect the population of other animals badly. Most species decline in number, get sick, hunted and eventually die/go extinct (think of apes, deer, wolves). However, there are animals who profit from humans, like pets, farm animals, rats and gulls, but also cockroaches, ants and other insects. Most bacteria also do well under human influence.

Wild animals, who can't be domesticated, are not influenced for the good by humans. Although we 'try' to protect them, humans do on the whole more harm than good.

Answer 2

We tear down animals natural habitat to make rooms for homes and malls. For ex the panda, they are almost extinct since the bamboo forests in China have been torn down and they have no place to live.

Answer 3

Humans affect biodiversity through habitat destruction, pollution, introduction of non-native species, and overexploitation of resources. These activities result in a loss of species diversity, disruption of ecosystems, and ultimately lead to a decline in overall biodiversity.

Answer 4

When humans clear forests or build dams in certain areas, habitats are lost or fragmented.
