The 68 pages that link to Biodiversity loss, each with the reason it gives.

• DeforestationRelated: Clearing forests removes habitat and can isolate surviving populations.

• Tropical rainforestRelated: Habitat destruction and fragmentation drive losses among rainforest species.

• Marine food webRelated: Losing species can remove feeding links and reduce alternative pathways through the web.

• Nitrogen cycleRelated: Excess nitrogen can favor a few nutrient-responsive species and alter community composition.

• Amazon rainforestRelated: Habitat destruction and climate stress threaten the rainforest’s exceptional species richness.

• ExtinctionNarrower topic: Extinction is its most final outcome, though biodiversity can decline before species vanish.

• Seagrass meadowRelated: Meadow loss removes food and shelter for many dependent species.

• OvergrazingRelated: Selective feeding and habitat change can reduce plants and animals that depend on intact pasture.

• Land degradationRelated: Habitat deterioration and reduced ecosystem quality can drive species losses.

• Wildlife traffickingRelated: Removing wildlife faster than populations recover contributes directly to species decline.

• Nutrient pollutionRelated: Nutrient enrichment favors a limited set of organisms and can displace sensitive species.

• Lake VictoriaNarrower topic: Native species declines make the lake a major case of freshwater biodiversity loss.

• Forest degradationRelated: Habitat simplification and disturbance can reduce forest species and ecological interactions.

• Pollinator declineRelated: Pollinator declines can weaken plant reproduction and ecological relationships, contributing to broader losses.

• Coastal squeezeRelated: Habitat area and connectivity can shrink as coastal ecosystems become compressed.

• Insect declineNarrower topic: Insect decline is one component of broader biodiversity loss, but abundance and diversity are distinct measures.

• Agricultural runoffRelated: Pollution and habitat degradation from runoff can reduce aquatic species and populations.

• HabitatRelated: When habitats disappear or degrade, species and ecological communities can be lost.

• Slash-and-burn agricultureRelated: Repeated clearing can remove habitat and disrupt species dependent on mature forest.

• TaigaRelated: Fragmentation, extraction, and climate shifts threaten taiga species and habitats.

• Extinction riskNarrower topic: Rising extinction risk is one pathway through which biodiversity is lost.

• PampasRelated: Conversion of native grassland threatens plants and animals adapted to Pampas habitats.

• RoadkillNarrower topic: Road mortality adds to other pressures that reduce wildlife abundance and diversity.

• DefaunationNarrower topic: Defaunation is the animal-focused component of broader biodiversity loss.

• Illegal wildlife tradeNarrower topic: Removing wildlife from populations contributes directly to declines in species and ecological diversity.

• Environmental scienceRelated: Measures a major consequence of habitat change, pollution, exploitation, and other pressures.

• PollutionRelated: Pollution can degrade habitats and reduce the abundance and diversity of species.

• David AttenboroughRelated: His work has repeatedly documented this crisis and its consequences for living systems.

• Food loss and wasteRelated: Unneeded agricultural production can intensify habitat conversion and other pressures on biodiversity.

• Soil degradationRelated: Damage to soil habitats can reduce belowground and aboveground biodiversity.

• Tropical deforestationRelated: Clearing removes habitat and can push forest-dependent species toward extinction.

• Wetland lossRelated: Wetland conversion removes habitat and can reduce the populations of species that depend on it.

• Habitat destructionRelated: When habitats disappear, species and ecological communities decline with them.

• Resource depletionRelated: Resource extraction can destroy habitats and reduce populations, contributing to biodiversity loss.

• Tropical agricultureRelated: Monocultures and habitat conversion can reduce biodiversity in tropical landscapes.

• Wildlife diseaseRelated: Severe disease outbreaks can contribute to local or global species declines.

• CaatingaRelated: Habitat conversion and degradation threaten the Caatinga's distinctive species and ecological diversity.

• GharialNarrower topic: The gharial’s collapse is one measure of declining river biodiversity in South Asia.

• Peatland drainageRelated: Drainage replaces wet peatland conditions with habitats that support different, often fewer, specialist species.

• Plant conservationNarrower topic: Plant extinction contributes to broader losses of biodiversity.

• Plantation agricultureRelated: Replacing diverse habitats with crop monocultures reduces ecological variety.

• Water buffaloNarrower topic: The decline of wild buffalo reflects wider pressures on Asian grassland and wetland wildlife.

• Climate change and forestsNarrower topic: Climate impacts can reduce forest species populations and alter community composition.

• Deforestation in BrazilRelated: Clearing and fragmentation threaten the many specialized species found in Brazil’s native biomes.

• Agricultural pollutionRelated: Pesticides, nutrient enrichment, and habitat degradation can reduce species and ecosystem diversity.

• Eastern HimalayaRelated: Habitat conversion and climate pressures threaten the region’s unusually diverse ecosystems.

• Great AccelerationRelated: The postwar expansion of land use and resource extraction intensified pressures on living systems.

• Human impact on the environmentRelated: Habitat conversion, exploitation, pollution, and climate change drive losses across life.

• Natural resourceRelated: Resource extraction and land conversion can reduce the variety of life.

• Agricultural expansionRelated: Conversion of diverse natural habitats often reduces species richness and abundance.
