What is Biodiversity depletion and explain any four antropocentric causes?
Biodiversity is the extent of variation of life forms within a given species, ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet. Its depletion is termed as biodiversity depletion, i.e., depletion of endemic flora and fauna of a particular region.Four anthropogenic factors responsible for biodiversity depletion are:1. Habitat loss and its degradation2. Introduction of non-native or alien species (to provide competition to the endemic species)3. Over-harvesting and over-use4. Global climatic changes (ocean warming, ozone depletion, acid-rains, tropical deforestation, etc)Best Regards,Bankim Malpani
