What are some ways humans are involved in both the problem and the possible solutions to biodiversity?

Answer 1

Humans can be both detractors and benefactors of biodiversity.

Humans can be forces for improving biodiversity through conservation efforts, breeding programs, and better resource usage, but they are also frequently blamed for the over-exploitation of resources, which is the main cause of biodiversity loss.

Naturally, one ongoing issue is the ongoing increase in the human population. While we may not yet have reached our limit—or perhaps we already have—it should eventually become clear that no species, including humans, can have unchecked growth or an endless existence—something has to give!

Humans contribute to biodiversity issues through habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation, and introduction of invasive species. Conservation efforts involve habitat preservation, sustainable resource management, and promoting awareness and responsible behavior.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
