In my opinion, habitat loss and fragmentation are the major cause for the loss of biodiversity. Loss of habitat is mainly brought about by humans, through deforestation and pollution. Humans have cleared more than 50% of the Amazon rainforest. Since Amazon rainforest is richest in biodiversity; reduced forest cover in this region has led to a great loss of biodiversity. This speaks about the huge impact, which habitat loss and fragmentation can have on biodiversity.
