Abstract :
Biodiversity threats are one of the major concerns of today's intellectuals. These threats
arise due to environmental problems that appear both due to natural processes as well as
anthropogenic activities. Human activities that affect biodiversity are in fact critical environmental
issues. These not only adversely affect humans but also other forms of life. Biodiversity is not an
optional bonus in human affairs, but it is the foundation of human life and necessary for the
existence and survival of humans and their sustainable development. So biodiversity conservation is
not only a necessity to save the species but also helps in the conservation of habitats and such action
is also likely to mitigate climate change. It is almost evident that habitat destruction and
fragmentation, overexploitation, invasive species and climate change have the potential to create
havoc in biodiversity loss. A major role in this regard is imparted by humans and their unsustainable
and indiscriminate activities including overpopulation. This review article describes a correlation
between anthropogenic activities and biodiversity threats i.e. the various types of anthropogenic
activities that are responsible for biodiversity threats and loss.
