Explanation:

The four main drivers of biodiversity loss, habitat loss, overexploitation, invasions by alien species, and co-extinctions, are referred to as the “Evil Quartet.” Ex situ conservation refers to the preservation of elements of biological diversity, such as gene banks and cryopreservation, outside their native environments. In India, local flora is threatened by the invasive alien species Lantana camara. The classic example of an island species going extinct due to invasive species and human activity is the dodo.
