Question

The main focus in combating loss of biodiversity is
A) transportation.
B) habitat fragmentation.
C) industrialization.
D) habitat destruction.

Accepted Answer

Habitat destruction is the main cause of loss of biodiversity as it directly removes or alters natural habitats, leading to the displacement or extinction of species. Transportation and industrialization can also contribute to habitat destruction, but habitat fragmentation refers to the breaking up of habitats into smaller, isolated pieces which can also lead to loss of biodiversity but is a consequence of habitat destruction.
