The greatest threat that humans pose to biodiversity is habitat destruction. This includes deforestation, urbanization, land conversion for agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development. These activities result in the loss of crucial habitats for various species, leading to their decline and eventual extinction. Other major threats to biodiversity caused by humans include pollution, climate change, overexploitation of natural resources, invasive species introduction, and poaching. All of these activities contribute to the degradation and destruction of ecosystems, leading to a decrease in biodiversity and the loss of valuable plant and animal species.
