The term for the rapid loss of biodiversity due to environmental changes is biological extinction. This phenomenon can result from habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. Loss of biodiversity threatens ecosystem resilience and functioning, as diverse ecosystems are better able to adapt to changes and stressors. The decline in species diversity also impacts human well-being through the loss of ecosystem services such as clean water, air purification, and food production. Addressing biodiversity loss is critical for sustaining ecological integrity and promoting human prosperity.
