Explanation:

1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.

2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.

3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.

Answer: Sudden loss of habitat

Explanation:

Endangered species are animal or plant species that are in danger of going extinct.

This usually results from them suddenly losing their habitat and thus being exposed to unfamiliar conditions or threats that could end their existence. For instance, elephants losing their forest habitats in India and thus encroaching on farmland only to get shot for damaging farms.
