The factor that destroys plant biodiversity is destruction of habitats, wildlife species get extinct because of destruction of forest by deforestation.

Deforestation refers to destruction of forest by extensive cutting of trees, since wild animals live in forests, they lose their habitat which leads to extinction of species

When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population and position at a higher trophic level favour extinction.

When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. A decrease in the species diversity progresses to extinction if left uncontrolled. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as over-exploitation, large body size, small population, massive habitat loss and position at a higher trophic level favor extinction. A plant podophyllum is at the verge of extinction due to over-exploitation. So, the correct answer is 'Podophyllum'.

When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population, massive habitat loss and position at a higher trophic level favor extinction. As forests are the main habitat for the wild animals, their loss favors the extinction of the same.

Biodiversity loss leads to the extinction of species. Factors such as habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation, alien species invasion and co-extinction are causes for such losses. When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution.
So, the correct answer is 'Biodiversity loss'.

Jhum cultivation, also known as the slash and burn agriculture, is the process of growing crops by first clearing the land of forests and burning them thereafter. It is also known as shifting agriculture. The burnt soil contains potash which helps in increasing the nutrient content of the soil. This process has led to the maximum damage to the Indian forests as they are cleared for this process.

Endangered species are prone to become extinct. When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population, massive habitat loss and position at a higher trophic level favor extinction. As forests are the main habitat for the wild animals, their loss favors the extinction of the same.

Habitat destruction, poaching, climate change and lack of resource management have resulted in a decline in biodiversity by leading to the extinction of species. Other factors such as large body size, small population, and position at a higher trophic level also favor extinction of species. When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out.
