Answer 2

Answer:

d)AD Deforestation and Poaching.

Explanation:

• The removal of trees and other types of vegetation reduces available food, shelter, and breeding habitat.
• Wildlife habitats become fragmented, where native species must live on remaining habitat islands that are surrounded by disturbed land that is being used for agriculture and other uses.
• Wild animals are being poached on a massive scale, with millions of individual animals of thousands of species worldwide killed or captured from their native habitats.
• Poaching poses a growing threat to animals such as elephants and rhinos, as well as to smaller creatures, including certain lizards and monkeys.
• The loss of one species can have a chain reaction, leading to the loss of other plants and animals or even the collapse of the entire ecosystem.
• The illegal hunting and harvesting of animals are the second biggest direct threat to species after habitat destruction
