✍️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.
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.
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.
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.

✍️ Effects of human beings on the world’s ecosystem are reasons why creatures are
extinct and lose bio-diversity. This essay will look at the primary causes of this and
suggest some possible solutions to this problem.
There are two reasons for the rising levels of extinct species. The first reason is
environmental pollution. People nowadays use too much non-recycling waste such as
nylon, industrial waste, plastic, so on. While this garbage takes several thousand years
to decompose, many animals can swallow them. For example, if a turtle eats nylon, it
will starve because it can not digest food. Besides, agriculture requires a large number
of chemical fertilizers and insecticides. This causes many species to lose habitat due to
water and soil pollution. Another reason is illegal hunting. Many humans are forcing
animals into extinction by over-consuming them or killing them for economic gains.
For instance, elephants are killed for their tusks. In other words, human activities often
deplete local flora and fauna and cause loss of biodiversity.
Some possible actions could be taken to mitigate the problem mentioned above.
Firstly, people must protect the environment. People need to limit the use of nylon and
reduce waste. Famers and agriculturists should use organic fertilizers instead of
chemical fertilizers. Spending environmentally friendly products will protect the
environment in general and water and soil in particular. Secondly, illegal hunting
crimes should be banned and punished by the government. Finally, nations should also
build and develop natural reserves. Species will reset the ecosystem when habitat is
improved.
In conclusion, people’s activities that change the environment have a detrimental
impact on the world’s ecosystem and several measures should be implemented to
tackle this issue.

✍️ In recent years, human activities have drastically impacted biodiversity leading to


the extinction of many endangered species. The essay will discuss the main causes and
provide a few solutions to control the situation.
To commence with, the first and foremost cause for this negative influence on our
ecosystem is overpopulation. There has been a dramatic rise in the population rate,
leading to an increase in demand for land, resulting in the loss of habitat for various
animals. People, for instance, in the pursuit of accommodation end up cutting down
forests and occupying the space meant for the other species. In addition, various
environmental issues, like water contamination, emissions from cars and other
vehicles and improper disposal of waste are responsible for our loss of biodiversity.
These actions of the public pollute the environment leading these pollutants to enter
the food chain of the animals. Aquatic creatures are subjected to water contamination
and are leading towards dwindling numbers and might become extinct.
There are a few solutions to control and maintain the ecosystem. Firstly, the
government should impose certain laws to control the population, especially where the
trend is extremely high. It can be achieved by awareness campaigns. Furthermore, it is
the responsibility of us as a society to mitigate the environmental concerns that are
affecting the habitat and life of other beings in the world. For example, proper disposal
of waste in landfills and waste processing centres. Moreover, pollution caused due to
vehicles can be reduced by opting for public transport.
In conclusion, there are many causes of the situation like the rise in the number of
individuals and irresponsible behaviour towards the animals by polluting the air and
water. It can be solved by taking measures, including controlling population growth to
reduce the need for deforestation along with preserving the environment.

✍️ There is a loss of biodiversity and some types of flora and fauna have gone extinct
due to the negative impact of mankind on the world's ecosystem. A plethora of reasons
can be behind it, however, lack of awareness and focus on mere development are the
two main causes. The coming paragraphs will shed a light on the causes as well as a
few of the possible solutions.
Commencing with the prime cause, the lack of awareness among people about the
consequences of exploitation leads to the loss of biodiversity and the extinction of the
species. In other words, folks keep on cutting trees and fishing for their bread and
butter which adversely affect the natural habitat of some kind of birds, plants and
marine animals. Furthermore, numerous countries have been rushing behind the race
of economic and industrial development and ignoring the perpetual deterioration of
our environment. Besides, it is resulting in global warming as well as emerging as a
key-factor for air and water pollution.
While it has become arduous to curb the situation, there are a few solutions which I
would like to suggest. First and foremost is to spread awareness among society in
which media, government and social institutions can play a vital role. For instance,
they can demonstrate the harmful effects of the exploitation of the environment to the
public and persuade them for planting seedling and dissuade overfishing. Secondly,
strict legislation for the prevention of endangered species must be imposed by the
governments of all countries.
In conclusion, although using more and more plants and animals for the purpose of
development may provide short term gains, yet it is hazardous in the long run. We all
must remember that nature is not our property, it is our heritage which we must
preserve for our future generation.

✍️ People’s destructive influence on the earth’s ecosystem is exterminating many


species and disrupting biodiversity. This essay will discuss two primary causes for this
loss, and then put forward the solutions to this phenomenon.
Two elementary factors contribute to the extinction of many species. The most
prominent reason lies in habitat loss which is caused by deforestation, pollution,
global warming, and overpopulation. Take global warming as an example. Coral reefs
which are biodiversity hotspots will face extinction if the current rate of global
warming continues. Overexploitation of natural resources is another cause of this loss.
When human activity, pertaining to harvesting and capturing, such as farming,
hunting, and fishing, is excessively intense in a particular region, resources become
exhausted. For instance, many medicinally important plants like Aconitum species.
People, for instance, in the pursuit of accommodation end up cutting down forests and
occupying the space meant for the other species. In addition, various environmental
issues, like water contamination, emissions from cars and other vehicles, and improper
disposal of waste are responsible for our loss of biodiversity. These actions of the
public pollute the environment leading these pollutants to enter the food chain of the
animals.
However, protecting the natural habitat of wildlife and raising public awareness can be
two great solutions. Entire communities of flora and fauna can be saved by protecting
their habitats. That is to say that wildlife should have places for shelter, food and
reproduction that are untouched by the human. Similarly, public awareness also
prevents biodiversity loss. A big part of the endangered species’ extinction is caused
because people very often are unaware of the abolition of many animals and plants.
In conclusion, If the authority controls the way their citizens act toward their
surroundings would help to reduce the destruction of the diversity of living things and
their habitat. It is highly recommended that the protection of the world is the
responsibility of every human.

✍️ It cannot be denied that mankind has become the cause of the disappearance of
species as well as the loss of biodiversity is also a burning issue these days. I will
explicate the two causes of this phenomena and explain how we can tackle this
obstacle in the coming years.
To commence with, the primary reason for this occurrence is human population
growth. In other words, the increase in human inhabitants causes a problem as natural
habitats are considered to convert into human houses. For example, forests are cleared
to build luxury houses and some industrial buildings, and this has a devastating effect
on wildlife. To mitigate it, the possible reason to halt this situation requires the legal
authorities intervention as the government can impose some law to maintain a number
of the population such as every family must have no more than two children. Also ,
the forest should be preserved by making some new legal laws.
Another problem is the overconsumption of resources. To explain it, oil and natural
gas utilization in water can be harmful to marine biodiversity. For instance, it is
estimated that the oil spill accident that happened last week in the Atlantic Ocean will
affect thousands of underwater species, and marine specie's number would be
decreased on higher levels. To cope with this, people's attitude should be changed to
forge a compromise with their consumption behaviour to protect fauna and flora. In
addition, the government should also consider the reduction of this situation.
In conclusion, an individual's unawareness leads to animals extinction as well as some
species are dying out as people are using natural resources at an alarming rate. Also,
these problems can be solved if human try to maintain the natural world with rule and
regulations which should be imposed by the government.

✍️ In the past decades, the decrease and total disappearance of fauna and flora have
never ceased to draw public attention and provoke debates. In the following essay, the
causes of this phenomenon and their solutions will be thoroughly discussed.
Firstly, it is necessary to acknowledge the negative effects of overpopulation. In fact,
the surge in the population is synonymous with the expansion of metropolises and the
establishment of other forms of human settlement and therefore results in the
destruction of the natural environment and biological diversity. For instance, the vast
number of residents in China has resulted in urban sprawls around major cities,
leading to the vanish of natural sceneries and the depletion of green spaces. Besides,
the excessive desire for animal-deprived products has also greatly contributed to the
fall in the number of several animal creatures.
Various solutions have been cited to solve the mentioned problems, but it is authorities
who become the backbone of the efforts. In particular, legislators should enact policies
concerning urbanisation, namely housing development, to minimise the detrimental
effects it may bring to the habitats, thereby protecting biodiversity. For example, the
US government has introduced a set of regulations concerning industrialisation,
urbanisation and preservation of wildlife, effectively securing the national wildlife
against any threats. As well as that, incentives should be applied to motivate
companies to seek substitutions for animal-derived materials and sanctuaries
established for the preservation of endangered animals and plants.
In conclusion, it is human activities and habits that become the key factors in the
dying out of species and the undermining of wildlife. To improve the situation,
governments ought to take proactive actions as well as instruct individual citizens on
how to assist the process.
