When human population expands, biodiversity rich areas are lost

Explanation:

Human being wants to control anywhere and everywhere in the world. Firm CEOs want to use cheap and easily available materials (such as palm oil). They want to convert natural forests into palm plantations. Therefore, biodiversity is lost in such places.

When human population increase without thinking about future, resources for people are used enormously. This leads new roads, new buildings, new industrial plants, etc. Therefore, original landscape is converted into new forms. Biodiversity is lost.

Although almost nobody lives in Antarctica, transboundary pollution and global climate change affect animals/creatures living there.
