Question
Explain 'migration' as a factor contributing towards adverse impact on the ecosystem.
Solution
It can be driven by different forces, including:
- Habitate Destruction: Migrants clearing land for agriculture, housing, and infrastructure often change natural habitats into urban areas or agricultural fields, resulting in biodiversity loss.
- Deforestation: Migration causes deforestation as people settle in forested areas and use natural resources for survival. It negatively impacts world biodiversity.
- Over Exploitation of Natural Resources: Migration can lead to over-exploitation of natural resources for food, water, and shelter. Increased demand for resources can lead to unsustainable practices like overgrazing, overhunting, and environmental deterioration.
