The reasons behind the loss of biodiversity
- Destruction of habitat: Conversion of natural habitats for human settlements, agriculture, and mining, leading to deforestation and fragmentation, disrupting species interactions and reducing populations.
- Hunting and Poaching: Commercialization of wildlife killing leads to rapid depletion of species, causing damage to the rainforest ecosystem and potential extinction of certain species.
- Global warming and climate change: Pollution causes ozone layer depletion, resulting in climate change, natural disasters, and rising sea levels, impacting sensitive organisms.
- Pollution: Pesticide use and other pollutants lead to population decline of sensitive species, affecting fish-eating birds and marine life through lead poisoning, eutrophication, and oil spills.
