Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Habitat destruction, such as deforestation, urbanization, and conversion of natural areas to agricultural land, is the primary cause of species loss worldwide. It reduces the area available for species to live and breed, as well as fragmenting habitats, making it difficult for species to move and find mates. This leads to a decrease in population size, genetic diversity, and ultimately, the extinction of species.
