Threats to Biodiversity
In the Second Part, we will view four major threats to biodiversity:
- Chapter 1: Habitat loss and fragmentation
- Chapter 2: Pollution
- Chapter 3: Overexploitation
- Chapter 4: Species invasion
The core threat to biodiversity on the planet, and therefore a threat to human welfare, is the combination of human population growth and the resources used by that population. The human population requires resources to survive and grow, and many of those resources are being removed unsustainably from the environment.
