Primary causes of species extinction: a comprehensive analysis

Many important studies have analysed recent extinctions, but few have comprehensively examined these patterns and assumptions. To our knowledge, none examined all of them across living organisms. We give several examples. In conclusion, while habitat loss and degradation remain the primary drivers of extinction, a complex interplay of factors, including climate change, overexploitation, and invasive species, contributes to the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Habitat destruction: the leading cause of extinction

  • Discover the causes and impacts of habitat loss, explore real-world examples, and learn how to protect and restore vital wildlife habitats worldwide.
  • Poaching and illegal wildlife trade effects

    Illegal wildlife trade threatens species populations and can result in the extinction of species, both, locally and globally. When poachers and wildlife traders capture and trade endangered species to meet black-market demand, they are threatening the life and survival of these species.
