Explanation
Biodiversity loss is often caused by large-scale agricultural practices, such as soyabean cultivation, which lead to habitat destruction and reduction in species richness. Overexploitation occurs when natural resources by humans has resulted in the extinction of species like the Steller’s sea cow, which was hunted excessively. Alien species invasion refers to the introduction of non-native species such as Parthenium and Lantana, which spread rapidly and outcompete native plants, causing ecological imbalance. Species extinction is well illustrated by the introduction of exotic predatory fish. Thus, each example clearly represents the respective cause of biodiversity loss.
