Influence of human beings on the world's ecosystem is leading to the extinction of species and loss of biodiversity.

Due to the human factor, the majority of

species

are dying out and becoming extinct leading to the loss of biodiversity.

This

essay will put forward some reasons for

this

trend and

also

suggest some feasible measures to address

this

problem. One of the ulterior motives for extinction is a change of natural habitats.In recent years ,because of modernization,many natural places are being destroyed by people.

Instead

of forests,a range of skyscrapers is being erected leaving no place for

animals

and birds to live.According to some statistics,due to deforestation,a

third

of animal

species

died out in the

last

decade alone.Another factor in

species

dying out is

pollution

.Water

pollution

and exhaust fumes are killing millions of

animals

and birds.Because of

pollution

in the oceans,a wide range of

animals

including fish, whales and dolphins are dying.More and more people and factories are throwing their waste into oceans not thinking of the consequences of their own actions. The most practical policy for the governments is to protect areas where

animals

,birds and insects can thrive in.They can enforce legal policies and punish those who break the law.Another way to lessen the risk of animal extinction is to promote awareness among residents.The government should organize clubs and meetings on animal rights and aware people that the majority of

species

are at risk of becoming extinct. By way of conclusion,I once again state that

pollution

and taking away their natural habitats are major causes of loss of biodiversity.And we can alleviate

this

risk by protecting areas and promoting awareness among citizens.
