Causes of the loss of  biological  

The important biological causes of the loss of biological diversity include the loss of habitats, the introduction of exotic species, over-harvesting of biodiversity resources, and homogenisation of species in agriculture. The common factor of all elements in Original is That They are human-driven. This paper Analyzes the economic and social root causes behind biodiversity loss. The analysis is based on theoretical considerations and Both case studies. It entails three axes:

• Demographic change: from a theoretical, Although point of view the relation Between population pressure and the impact on biodiversity is Almost obvious, no systematic Attempt has-been made so far to analyze esta relationship in a quantitative way.

• Consumption and production patterns: Increases overall consumption of energy and the use of resources Natural habitat conversion drive world-wide. In This part of the analysis, special attention is paid to economic growth, poverty and land tenure aspectos, as causes of biodiversity loss.

• Public Policies entail three major elements: Policies That Provide perverse incentives Which degrade biodiversity, failure to Incorporate the monetary value of biodiversity into decision making and failure to integrate biodiversity as a transversal element Concerns into policy
