Explanation:

The deterioration of the natural environment causes the loss of mobility of birds and animals. Habitat plays a significant role in retaining biodiversity. Habitat loss and degradation—which is any thinning, fragmentation, or destruction of an existing natural habitat—reduces or eliminates the food resources and living space for most species. Species that cannot migrate are often wiped out. Loss of biological diversity due to extinction of species will have a major effect on our planet. Loss of biodiversity affects ecosystems along with climate change, pollution and other such environmental stress. Changes in biodiversity that affect the species involved in the transmission of human diseases, affect the incidence of such diseases. Changes also affect the diversity of the pathogens including bacteria and viruses etc. that cause disease. Where ecosystems are not healthy due to loss in biodiversity, it is more vulnerable to emerging diseases. Hence, loss of biodiversity will increase rates of pathogen transmission and increase disease risks for human beings. When we protect the ecosystem, it helps to protect biodiversity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The diversity of species and genes in ecological communities affects the functioning of these communities. These ecological effects of biodiversity in turn are affected by both climate change through enhanced greenhouse gases, aerosols and loss of land cover[citation needed], and biological diversity, causing a rapid loss of biodiversity and extinctions of species and local populations. The current rate of extinction is sometimes considered a mass extinction, with current species extinction rates on the order of 100 to 1000 times as high as in the past.
