To start with, the ever-increasing pollution and global warming has a major on our biodiversity. Many animals and plants are getting ill effected and are at a verge of extinction. Even some of the species have already become extinct from our ecosystem. One ecosystem is interconnected with other by several means. The absence of even one species can have major impact on other species. It can disturb the ever-on-going cycles of food chain.

There are many areas where farmers are dependent on rains as a only source of irrigation. Due to global warming there is a scarcity of rainfalls. There is almost 70% water present on the earth but only 10% of it is safe for drinking. This Is because of the increase in the water pollution due to pesticides, fertilizer and industrialization. For example, a news was telecasted on ‘BBC news channel’ in 2021 according to which many cities were destroyed in some parts Pakistan due to floods.

To conclude this, the extinction of flora and fauna can disturb the ecosystem of the earth. Whereas floods and pollution can directly affect the mankind.
