The primary cause of species extinction in the Anthropocene is human-induced habitat destruction, often driven by urbanization, agriculture, and deforestation. These activities lead to significant loss of natural habitats, which diminishes the available resources for various species, causing population declines. Additionally, climate change exacerbates these pressures by altering habitats and the conditions required for species to thrive. An increase in pollution and the introduction of invasive species further contribute to ecosystem imbalances, accelerating the extinction rates beyond natural thresholds. Understanding these dynamics is essential for categorizing conservation efforts effectively.
