NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When a habitat is destroyed, the plants, animals and other organisms that occupy the habitat have reduced their carrying capacity or ability to survive, to the point that populations decline and become extinct.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to the loss of habitat, deforestation reduces the ability of forests to provide the critical benefit of absorbing carbon, which helps to mitigate the effects of climate change. The situation is even worse in waterways, coastal areas, and the ocean.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are many causes of habitat loss, including land conversion for development from growing populations, mining for materials, harvesting lumber for paper products and, of course, agriculture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Habitat Loss. Species endangerment and extinction have three major anthropogenic causes-overhunting or overharvesting; introduction of nonnative species, including the spread of disease; and habitat degradation or loss. All three causes probably were factors in prehistoric as well as modern times.
