The influence of human beings on the world's ecosystem is leading to the extinction of species and loss

of biodiversity.

What are the primary causes of the loss of biodiversity?

What solutions can you suggest?

**Cause:

-deforestation- explanation: financial purposes - example: wood trade, agricultural land, living area

-urbanization-explanation: pollution, exploitation of resources ⇒ natural habitat - example: some whale


species become extinct because of water pollution caused by the oil spill, plastic wastes…

**Solution:

-Individual: launch campaigns to encourage people to protect the environment,

People need to limit the use of nylon and reduce waste. Farmers and agriculturists should use organic
fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. Consuming environmentally friendly products will protect the
environment in general and water and soil in particular.

-Government:

illegal hunting crimes should be banned and punished by the government

Nations should also build and develop natural reserves. It will help species reset the ecosystem when
the habitat is improved.

Indeed, the impact of humans on the global ecosystem has resulted in the extinction of species and the
loss of biodiversity. There are several reasons behind this view that several solutions should be adopted
to improve the situation.

There are several reasons for the rising levels of extinction of species and loss of biodiversity. The first
reason is deforestation. People nowadays tend to consume too much wood for trade, agricultural land,
and living areas for financial purposes. This action can cause a loss of biodiversity quickly.

Another reason is urbanization. Urbanization is the process of widely developing urban lifestyles as
reflected in the aspects of population, population density, and quality of life. Rapid urbanization
contributes to a rise in household garbage. Every year, the number of people living in cities grows,
increasing the amount of trash that is difficult to clean. Besides that, people exploit resources too much.
As a consequence, natural habitats are becoming increasingly polluted, and, at the current rate of
consumption, resources will quickly be depleted. Some ecosystems will even become extinct before the
resources are depleted. For example, some whale species have become extinct because of water
pollution caused by oil spills and plastic waste.

Several actions could be taken to mitigate the problem mentioned above. Firstly, each individual
launches campaigns to encourage people to protect their habitat. People need to reduce the use of
nylon and reduce waste. Farmers and agriculturists should also use organic fertilizers instead of chemical
fertilizers. Consuming environmentally friendly products will protect the environment in general and the
water and soil in particular. Secondly, the government should be building a legal framework to arrest,
prosecute, and prosecute those who dare to destroy or burn forests indiscriminately for their immediate
self-interest. Illegal hunting should be outlawed and prosecuted. Finally, natural resources should also
be built and developed by countries. It will help species reset the ecosystem when the habitat is
improved.

In conclusion, there are various factors contributing to the extinction of species and loss of biodiversity,
and measures can be implemented to tackle this issue.
