Question

Which of the following is not a cause for loss of biodiversity?

विकल्प

• Over-exploitation of natural resources

• Invasion by alien species

• Keeping animals in zoos

• Destruction of habitat

Answer 1

Keeping animals in zoos

Explanation:

Loss of biodiversity is primarily caused by habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation of natural resources, invasion by alien species, pet trade, and co-extinctions. Habitat destruction reduces living space and food availability. Over-exploitation through hunting or excessive use harms species populations. Alien species compete with native species and cause environmental damage.
