Climate change will increase the loss of biodiversity at a greater rate than
pollution
Invasive species will have a greater impact in loss of biodiversity in ten
years than pollution
B)
C)
"Habitat degradation is and will continue to be the leading cause of
biodiversity loss in the Mediterranean Sea.
D)
The loss of biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea will increase for nearly
every factor over the next ten years.
E)
Exploitation of species in the Mediterranean Sea will lead to the greatest
decline in biodiversity in the area in ten years.
