Question

How is is biodiversity affected by the excessive news of
fossil fuels

Answer 1

How fossil fuels destroy biodiversity.?



The global perspective on fossil fuels, one of the primary culprits of climate change, has always been focused on the immense energy it provides mankind.

However, its impact on biodiversity, while more devastating to humans than we realize, does not get as much attention. This is more pronounced in the Philippines, which is one of the 18 mega-biodiverse countries in the world.

The country ranks fifth in plant biodiversity, hosting 5% of the global flora, according to the 2014 National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity. It is also located within the global epicenter of marine biodiversity, with 22,500 square kilometers of coral reefs, which is  home to at least 3,214 fish species. The country also boasts of high species endemism, ranking fourth in bird endemism. Nearly half of its terrestrial wildlife is endemic to the country.
