1. Habitat loss and fragmentation is the prime cause of destruction of biodiversity.
2. Due to degradation and pollution there is reduction in vast natural habitats. This creates crisis situation for resident living organisms.
3. This is largely due to human activities.
4. There is also a threat to migratory birds and for animals which need larger territories.
5. Reduction in tropical rain forests has been reduced from 14% to 6% over the years, which has surely destroyed many species.
