Influence of human beings on the world's ecosystem is leading to the extinction of species and loss of bio-diversity. What are the primary causes of loss of bio-diversity? What solutions can you suggest?

Over the past century, the human population has exploded. The rise of a mankind is leading to the destruction of the planet earth. A recent study showed that the humans are paving a way for another mass extinction, many species are dying out rapidly and

the earth

is losing out its bio-diversity. One of the main factors that lead to

this

unfortunate situation is human growth itself. The rise of modern medicine and the industrial growth has shown a huge impact on the human life expectancy, until

lifetime

of a person was less than 50 years, but now it is beyond 70 in many countries,

this

trend ultimately lead to the increase of our population. To meet growing demands of

such

a huge population, mankind turned to the earth for resources and started extracting them like never before in the history. Deforestation, hunting the wild animals, uncontrolled fossil fuel extraction lead to the loss of the earth’s bio-diversity. The

first

two important steps to save the earth’s ecological balance on are, the human birth control and mankind should learn how to live peacefully with the nature rather than by destroying it.

Additionally

, emission of the greenhouse gases must be limited, and forest cover needs to be improved and wild animal poaching has to be eliminated. To conclude, all the intended targets can be achieved only by increasing awareness among the public and all the governments should be

working

together in coordination. If we don’t give enough attention to the crisis, the

next

species that are going to be extinct is us.
