Biodiversity is found everywhere but increases closer to the equator in warm, tropical environments like rainforests, coral reefs, and large tropical lakes. These areas provide rich habitats for diverse species. Habitat loss from activities like deforestation and dynamite fishing is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity as it can damage or destroy ecosystems. Fragmenting habitats into smaller pieces also negatively impacts biodiversity by restricting movement and resources for species. Air, water, and land pollution, including acid rain, further degrade habitats and environmental conditions.
