Question

Research at least three current or proposed solutions to the declining biodiversity of the area, and use that information to complete the chart. Keep track of the references you use, because you’ll need to cite them later.

Declining biodiversity often has more than one root cause. It can be caused by loss of habitat or excess use of resources, leading to a decline in the number of species. Identify the root causes for declining biodiversity in your ecosystem. Make sure to clearly state in the chart which factor the solution addresses.
