How can the loss of biodiversity be prevented?

Loss of biodiversity can be prevented by the following:

1. Protection of endangered animals and plants in their natural habitat must be encouraged as much as possible.

2. Preservation of critical habitats like feeding, breeding and resting areas of endangered species should be created to promote their growth in numbers

3. Hunting and illegal cutting of trees or illegal encroachment of lands must be discouraged.
