The primary cause of biodiversity loss worldwide is habitat destruction and fragmentation.
When natural habitats (forests, wetlands, grasslands) are destroyed for urbanization, agriculture, or industrial use, species lose their shelter, food, and breeding grounds, leading to decline or extinction.
Other options:
Greenhouse effect → contributes indirectly via climate change
Hunting → important but not the main global cause
Soil erosion → secondary impact
Hence, the main reason is destruction of natural habitats.
