How does deforestation contribute to biodiversity loss?

• By reducing the need for raw materials.

• By creating new habitats for species.

• By destroying natural ecosystems.

• By increasing the number of pollinators.

What is a consequence of industrial waste entering water bodies?

• It enhances the growth of aquatic plants.

• It purifies the water for human use.

• It pollutes lakes, rivers, and oceans.
