Loss of biodiversity is probably the greatest threat to our
continued existence on Earth, yet it is the most neglected issue. Many pay lip
service to the dire consequences of loss of ecological biodiversity but far too
little is being done about it. Do your research and discover the extent of the
problem then write an essay in which you discuss both the precipitating factors
and the threat it poses.
