Biodiversity loss

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The four major causes of biodiversity loss are collectively known as the '$Evil 	ext{ } Quartet$'.$1$. Habitat loss and fragmentation: This is the most important cause driving animals and plants to extinction.$2$. Over-exploitation: Humans have over-exploited many species (e.g., Steller's sea cow, passenger pigeon) for food or commercial needs.$3$. Alien species invasion: When alien species are introduced unintentionally or deliberately, some of them turn invasive and cause the decline or extinction of indigenous species.$4$. Co-extinction: When a species becomes extinct, the plant and animal species associated with it in an obligatory way also become extinct.Therefore, these factors are the primary causes of biodiversity loss.
