Discuss one example, based on your day-to-day observations, showing how the loss of one species may lead to the extinction of another.

Answers (1)

Let us take the example of an insect. Let us assume that it plays an important role in the pollination of many plants. If the insect becomes extinct, that will mean a problem for those plants, which depend on this insect for pollination. Those plants will not be able to produce seeds and may become extinct in due course of time. After the extinction of those plants, any species, which depend on them for food, will be left with limited resources for food. This shows that the extinction of even a single species can prove disastrous for the whole ecosystem.
