उत्तर
- The population of India is quickly rising. To keep up with unsustainable human population growth, more land is needed. Cities are growing at an alarming rate, extending beyond their original boundaries. Building houses affects plant and animal habitats. This habitat destruction has resulted in the extinction of species.
- Furthermore, shifting agriculture causes deforestation, which destroys trees and large plants, leaving animals without shelter or food.
- Smuggling wild animals, poaching endangered species, and overfishing in rivers and oceans have all contributed to a loss of wildlife biodiversity in India.
- Pollution is another key reason for the decline of wildlife in India. Pesticides, for example, can harm other plant species when sprayed on crops.
As a result of human encroachment on wild animals’ natural habitats, deforestation, smuggling, poaching, overfishing, and pollution, wildlife populations in India are rapidly declining.
