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

The detrimental impact on the environment caused by people’s destructive activity has led to the

extinction

of numerous

species

as well as disruption to biodiversity.

This

essay will examine some main factors contributing to

this

and

also

suggest the measure which could be implemented by the authorities. One key issue that causes the

extinction

of

species

is deforestation due to the considerable increase in the population,

consequently

, the demand for energy and basic needs rises

accordingly

. To meet

this

demand, energy resources are often exploited in unsustainable ways and foods are produced by converting a vast

area

of rainforest into an agricultural

area

.

As a result

, wildlife

species

which formerly inhibit the

area

lose their home and die out eventually. Take Food Estate in central Kalimantan as an example, the ambitious project has been sacrificing a large

area

of rainforest in Kapuas regency and responsible for the annihilation of many

species

of primates. There are some possible remedies to the problem.

First

and foremost, the governments should protect areas where apes and monkeys can thrive —

for example

, by establishing natural parks and reserves where they will be nourished and protected from harmful activities.

Moreover

, another way to mitigate the risk of animal

extinction

is to promote awareness among the people about the dangers of

this

problem. The government should organize clubs on animal rights and educate people that the majority of

species

are at the edge of

extinction

. If we took these steps, it would greatly enhance people’s consciousness of environmental protection. To conclude, human activities

such

as excessive cultivation of land which are taking away animals' natural habitats are major causes of the loss of biodiversity. And the risk of

this

problem can be mitigated by protecting areas and promoting awareness among citizens.
