“Understanding Extinction: Causes Behind the Disappearance of Species”

  Extinction happens when a species dies out completely, with no individuals remaining on Earth. There are several reasons why extinction can occur, including: 1.     Habitat loss: Habitat loss occurs when natural ecosystems are destroyed or degraded, making it difficult for species to survive. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including: i.Deforestation: Forests are cleared to make way for agriculture, logging, mining, and other human activities. This can have a significant impact on the many species that depend on forests for their survival. ii.Urbanization: As human populations continue to grow, natural habitats are destroyed to make way for cities and towns. This can result in a loss of habitat for many species, making it difficult for them to survive. iii.Agriculture: As agriculture expands, natural habitats are cleared to make way for crops and livestock. This can result in a loss of habitat for many species, as well as soil erosion and water ...

Ten Extinct Plants from the planet earth

Extinct plants refer to plant species that no longer exist in the wild or anywhere on the planet. These plants have permanently disappeared from the Earth due to various reasons, such as habitat destruction, over harvesting, invasive species, climate change, or a combination of factors. The extinction of plant species is a significant concern as it impacts biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and the overall health of the planet. Extinct plants can include trees, shrubs, flowers, and other types of vegetation. Some extinct plants have cultural or historical significance, while others may have held ecological importance in specific ecosystems. When a plant species becomes extinct, it means that its genetic diversity and unique characteristics are lost forever. Efforts are made to document and preserve extinct plant species through herbarium collections, seed banks, and other conservation methods. Additionally, conservationists focus on protecting endangered plant species to prevent them...
