Introduction Body 1-Causes Body 2-Solutions Conclusion

1. The two main causes of species extinction are change of their habitats and overexploitation of natural
resources. When humans artificially transform the environment, they destroy vegetation and animals’ natural
habitat. For instance, to build new roads people are cutting down the trees and cementing the soil, altering the
environment. Because of that, a lot of species are dying out. Also, when the activities connected with capturing
and harvesting a natural resource are too intense in a particular area, the resource becomes exhausted. For
example, too frequent fishing doesn’t leave enough time for fish to reproduce and makes them disappear. In
other words, human activities often deplete local flora and fauna and cause loss of bio-diversity.

2. To conclude, people’s activities that change the environment have negative impact on the world's ecosystem.
However, we can significantly lessen the extinction of species by protecting natural areas and enlightening
people as to this problem.

3. Despite knowing about biodiversity’s importance for a long time, human activity has been causing massive
extinctions of different species. This essay will examine the main causes of loss of biodiversity and possible
solutions of this problem.

4. Some possible solutions to this problem are protecting natural areas and promoting awareness among
people. By protecting areas where human activity is limited and avoiding overexploitation of its resources, we
can save the untouched environment and prevent species from dying out. Moreover, the next step in fighting bio-
diversity loss is informing the general population about the dangers of this problem. This way, people will be
more conscious of the environment and won’t overuse or destroy its resources.
