World Population Trends Questions
The impact of population growth on biodiversity is generally negative. As the human population increases, it leads to increased demand for resources such as land, water, and food, resulting in habitat destruction and fragmentation. This loss of habitat directly affects various species, leading to a decline in their populations and, in some cases, extinction. Additionally, population growth also leads to increased pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, and the introduction of invasive species, all of which further contribute to the loss of biodiversity.
