If the present rate of species losses continues, we will lose our biological wealth in how much time?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
At the current rate of species extinction (mainly due to human activities like deforestation, pollution, and climate change), scientists estimate that a large portion of Earth’s biodiversity could be lost within the next 200 years (2 centuries). This gradual loss will significantly reduce our biological wealth if conservation steps are not taken.
