Which of the following is mainly responsible for the extinction of wild life

Options

A. Hunting of flesh
B. Destruction of habitats
C. Pollution of air and water
D. All of the above

Answer

B

Explanation

Wildlife is an asset for our environment. It needs to be protected to maintain an optimum biodiversity. Some of the reasons for extinction of wild life are: Destruction of their natural habitats by environmental pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, overgrazing, increased urbanisation, forest fires, and developmental works.
Over exploitation of the natural resource, that is pollution of air and water. Indiscriminate hunting that is hunting for flesh and international trade in rare animals.
