Step 1: Effect 1 - Habitat Destruction.
Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and industrialization lead to the destruction of natural habitats. This reduces the available living spaces for many species, causing a decline in biodiversity.
Step 2: Effect 2 - Pollution.
Pollution, including air, water, and soil pollution, caused by industrial waste, chemicals, and plastic disposal, has detrimental effects on ecosystems. It contaminates habitats and harms both plant and animal life, further threatening biodiversity.
