Topic 1: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation
Habitat loss occurs when places where animals and plants live, like forests or wetlands, are destroyed for things like buildings and farms. Fragmentation means that these habitats get split into smaller pieces, making it harder for animals to find food, mates, and safe places to live. This can be really bad for the environment because it disrupts the balance of nature and can lead to many species struggling to survive.
Topic 2: Increased Extinction Rates Among Vulnerable Species
Many species are becoming endangered because of problems like pollution, climate change, and poaching, which is bad because it means they might disappear forever. When a species goes extinct, it can affect the whole ecosystem since each plant and animal plays an important role. As more vulnerable species face these dangers, scientists worry that we are losing irreplaceable parts of our planet's biodiversity.
