Introduction The term habitat refers to a natural or environmental locale where a given kind of fauna, flora or other form of organism dwells in. It is the instinctual set up in which an organism, or the corporeal surroundings that bounds a genus populace. Extinction refers to the ceasing to exist of an organism or a cluster of life forms. The instance of extinction is by and large regarded as the demise of the very last character of the genus (Frankham, Ballou & Briscoe, 2010, p. 6). As a result of a genus’ probable range being especially large, settling on this instant is easier said than done, and is normally carried out with the benefit of hindsight. Habitat destruction is the procedure in which normal environment is caused to be functionally not capable to prop up the species existent. In this occurrence, the species that until that time used the site are put out of place or wiped out, trimming down biodiversity. Habitat obliteration due to human exploits majorly for the reason of reaping natural resources for manufacturing production and urbanization. Clearing natural habitats for farming is the primary basis of habitat obliteration. Other notable causes of habitat obliteration comprise of mineral excavation, lumbering, scouting about and metropolitan spread out. Habitat obliteration is at present classified as the principal grounds of species extinction world over. It is a course of ordinary ecological alteration that may be due to habitat disintegration, ecological procedures, atmosphere modification or as a result of human exploits such as the bringing in of all-encompassing species, ecological unit nutrient exhaustion and a host of other human activities that will be looked into detail below. Biodiversity is the extent of disparity of life sorts within a particular ecological unit, biotic community, or a whole planet. It is the gauge of the wellbeing of ecological units. Superior biodiversity means enhanced wellbeing. Biodiversity is in fraction an element of ambiance. In earthly ecological setups, tropical regions are on average rich while Polar Regions shore up smaller amounts of species. The time following the appearance of humans has shown a constant biodiversity trimming down and an associated loss of hereditary multiplicity. Referred to as the Holocene extinction, the cutback is principally as a result of human exploits, especially habitat obliteration. The effect of biodiversity on human wellbeing is a foremost international matter. Environmental conservation holds an even greater importance for the existence of life on earth. An ever-growing world population, fast alteration of vital habitation to other exploits, and the widening of insidious kind to foreign-born habitations create a severe danger to the planet’s innate resources and to the rest of forms of life that rely on them for foodstuff, energy, protection and medication. Guiding principles that disfigure marketplaces and offer inducements for unsustainable progress always end stepping up the predicament. With each passing year, there is a net loss of twenty two million acres of forested land globally. At the same time, deadly compounds, with some of them have the capability to move thousands of land, water and air miles from their starting place and lasting for long in the environment. This paper is therefore an in-depth exploration of the factors leading to the loss of biodiversity and how they can b
