Solution

The important reasons for our wildlife depletion are as follows:

  1. Habitat loss: Outright fragmentation of the ecosystem puts animal and plant species at risk.
  2. Invasive species: Non-native species introduced in an environment will put the native species at risk or outright lead to extinction.
  3. Overexploitation: An example of this is extreme hunting and overfishing.
  4. Pollution: Water, soil, air pollution further accelerates the destruction of biodiversity.
  5. Climate Change: Climate Change associated with global warming raises greenhouse gas levels that might affect biodiversity.
