Some conditions that are possible reasons for declining genetic diversity of a species;
▪︎loss of habitat
▪︎inbreeding
Explanation:
Loss of habitat will definitely reduce diversity because it reduces the population size from increased competition for reduced resources. Some subspecies may be completely eliminated when their niche is completely lost.
Inbreeding also reduces diversity because it results in the expression of recessive genes in a population that are mostly disadvantageous. High inbreeding rates will result in most individuals not reaching maturity to pass down their genes to the next generations.
