Explanation:

Question 13 (Threats to Biodiversity)

To determine ways humans threaten biodiversity, we consider human activities that harm ecosystems, species, or genetic variation. Common threats include habitat destruction (e.g., deforestation for agriculture/urbanization), overexploitation (overfishing, overhunting), pollution (water, air, soil pollution affecting organisms), and introduction of invasive species (non - native species outcompeting native ones).

For protecting biodiversity, we look at actions that conserve habitats, regulate resource use, reduce pollution, and support native species. Examples are establishing protected areas (national parks, wildlife reserves) to safeguard habitats, practicing sustainable resource use (sustainable fishing, forestry), reducing pollution (using eco - friendly products, proper waste disposal), and restoring damaged ecosystems (reforestation, wetland restoration).

Answer:

1. Habitat Destruction (e.g., deforestation, urbanization)
2. Overexploitation (e.g., overfishing, overhunting)
3. Pollution (e.g., water, air, soil pollution)
4. Introduction of Invasive Species
