Extinction of tiger can destabilise the entire forest ecosystem and result in a
large scale loss of biodiversity.
Justify this statement.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate.

The statement mentioned in the question is completely justified because tigers are one of the main carnivorous species in the forest ecosystem.

If the numbers of tiger decreases,then the herbivorous species will increase at a higher rate which will also deplete the grass and plants of the forest (herbivores eat plant and grass).

That's why the decrease of tiger population will harm the allover ecosystem of the forest.
