Answer:

Habitat distruction

Explanation:

Habitat is the home of animals.Forest is the habitat of animals They live in their habitat and they can search for food and give birth to their babies in their habitat.

All the birds,animals,plants and trees live with proper cooperation and peaceful harmony with other animals without disturbing anyone.

But when man enters their world,the man stars habitat destruction fir example deforestation,killing of animals and birds.

All this kind of habitat destruction can eventually lead to a danger to global biodiversity.Because deforestation lead to water crisis and draught.Many endemic organisms have very specific requirements for their survival that can only be found within a certain ecosystem, resulting in their extinction. Extinction may also take place very long after the destruction of habitat, a phenomenon known as extinction debt. Habitat destruction can also decrease the range of certain organism populations. This can result in the reduction of genetic diversity and perhaps the production of infertile youths, as these organisms would have a higher possibility of mating with related organisms within their population, or different species.

Habitat destruction is caused when the entire habitat of a living species is destroyed due to human and natural disaster. This is likely to affect the overall biodiversity of the nature.

Explanation:

  • Habitat destruction can be caused by human and natural conditions. The human induced changed to natural habitat includes deforestation, clear-cutting, forest fire, urbanization, wild-life trafficking and others.
  • The natural disasters like flood, volcanic eruption, earthquake, landslide can also affect the natural habitat.
  • These human induced and natural factors are likely to limit the population of the species worldwide. This may lead to loss of biodiversity.
