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.
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.
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.
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.
PampasRelated: Conversion of native grassland threatens plants and animals adapted to Pampas habitats.
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.
Peatland drainageRelated: Drainage replaces wet peatland conditions with habitats that support different, often fewer, specialist species.
Plantation agricultureRelated: Replacing diverse habitats with crop monocultures reduces ecological variety.
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.
Argentine antRelated: Local ant communities can lose species as Argentine ants become dominant.
Environmental crimeRelated: Poaching, illegal fishing, and habitat destruction accelerate losses of species and populations.
Environmental impact of agricultureRelated: Habitat conversion, pollution, and intensive management can reduce agricultural and wild biodiversity.
Yellow crazy antRelated: Ant-driven changes can reduce native animal populations and alter island communities.
21st centuryRelated: The century's conservation choices will affect whether current losses accelerate or stabilize.
Common starlingRelated: Competition from introduced starlings is one pressure on some native cavity-nesting birds.
Future of EarthRelated: Extinction rates and ecosystem disruption influence which forms of life persist through future environmental change.
Human overpopulationRelated: Human land use and resource demand can displace species and degrade habitats.
Lissachatina fulicaRelated: Dense populations can compete with native snails and alter plant communities.
Sierra Nevada de Santa MartaRelated: Habitat change and warming threaten the massif's distinctive species and ecosystems.
Congolian rainforestsRelated: Habitat destruction and hunting place pressure on the region’s distinctive wildlife.
