Question

Classify each example of a loss of biodiversity as being due to habitat destruction, invasive species, overexploitation, or pollution. Habitat destruction Invasive species Overexploitation Pollution Overgrazing by livestock causes soil erosion and the loss of grass species. Clearing of a rain forest leads to the extinction of native snake species. A species native to Asia enters North America and outcompetes native species Construction of a dam makes water conditions unfavorable for aquatic species. Fertilizer runoff depletes oxygen in aquatic habitats, killing many species.

00:01 Hello everyone in this question we have a few examples related to the loss of biodiversity and we have to put them into categories according to our understanding.
00:22 So the questions here are so these are here the examples.
00:29 First one is the overgrazing of livestock leads to soil erosion which results in the loss of grass.
00:36 Species.
00:38 So this is the over exploitation of the lands.
00:47 The next one is clearing of rain forest which lead to the extinction of native snake species is an example of habitat destruction.
01:02 The next one is the species which are native to asia enter the north america and outcompetes the native species...
