How does habitat loss affect biodiversity?

What happens to wildlife when their habitats are destroyed?

When habitats are destroyed, wildlife can lose their homes, leading to decreased populations and even extinction.

Can you explain how this affects ecosystems?

Yes, habitat loss disrupts food chains, reduces genetic diversity, and can lead to imbalances in ecosystems.

Are there specific species that are more affected by habitat loss?

Absolutely, species that are already endangered or have specialized habitat needs are particularly vulnerable.

What can be done to mitigate these effects?

Conservation efforts, habitat restoration, and sustainable land use practices can help mitigate the effects of habitat loss.
