Q18. Which of the following is
not a cause of extinction of
endemic species
O loss of habitat
over exploitation

introduced species
O planting of trees​

Answer 1

The correct option is planting of trees.

Explanation:

• In biology, endemic species are referred to those particular species that are found in a particular geographical location only.

• A loss of habitat will ultimately result in the extinction of these species as they will not be able to survive. Hence, Option 1 is a cause of extinction of endemic species.

• Similarly, Loss of habitat, over exploitation and introducing new species in the area will lead to disturbance and extinction of an endemic species.

• However, Planting trees in an area will not have a major effect on the endemic species.
