The current extinction is called a ‘biodiversity crisis’ because:
1. the extinctions are not a natural phenomenon
2. the rates are high and is due to the human activities
3. the extinction is mainly affecting animals rather than plants
4. only keystone species are being lost

The most serious negative impact of loss of biodiversity on humans would be due to:
1. global warming and ozone depletion.
2. loss of ecosystem services.
3. loss of source of genetic diversity to preserve endangered species.
4. loss of species for ʺbioprospecting.ʺ

Hints

Habitat loss and fragmentation lead to loss of biodiversity primarily because:

1. less plants in fragmented habitats leads to less photosynthesis.
2. more soil erosion takes place in fragmented habitats.
3. smaller populations in fragmented habitats are more prone to extinction.
4. animals migrate out of smaller habitat fragments.
