Biodiversity loss from species extinctions may rival pollution and climate change impacts. Species extinction and loss of biodiversity could be as devastating for the earth as climate change and air pollution. That's the finding of a new study by a group of scientists from nine countries.
What is the effect of extinction on the biodiversity of an environment?
Biodiversity entails distribution of living organisms in different habitat of the world, Extinction has great effect on biodiversity. It has reduced biodiversity as a result of inability of organisms to adapt to new environment or natural occurrence, hence; leads to extinction. According to charles darwin, organisms with greatest adapting features survives while those that could not would go on extinction. The recent natural occurrence in Australia is a typical example of the effect of how extinction of organisms would lead to reduction in diversity as over a billion of animals dies as a result of fire outbreak
