Biodiversity Loss

Biodiversity loss refers to the reduction or disappearance of species and biological diversity in an area or globally. It can be temporary or permanent and is primarily driven by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, over-exploitation, invasive species, and climate change. Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem function, resilience, and the services that nature provides to humans. Ongoing global biodiversity loss is sometimes referred to as the Holocene extinction or sixth mass extinction, reflecting the accelerated rate of species extinctions in the modern era.
