What are the 5 major threats to biodiversity?

The five major threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change.

1. Habitat Loss: Forests are cleared for farming, cities, and industries, reducing living space for wildlife.
2. Overexploitation: Excessive hunting, fishing, and logging lower species populations.
3. Pollution: Chemicals, plastics, and oil spills harm ecosystems.
4. Invasive Species: Non-native species outcompete and destroy native species.
5. Climate Change: Global warming and rising sea levels affect species survival.

Impact

• Loss of species variety.
• Disruption of food chains.
• Decline in ecosystem services like oxygen supply and pollination.
