biodiversity loss, causes, state, nature protection formsAbstract
The loss of biodiversity is a huge problem over recent years and is expected to continue. This is mainly due to human activity. Causes can be divided into direct; such as land use, pollution or climate change, and indirect, including demographic factors as well as economic and government issues. In order to avoid a further decline of biodiversity, nature conservation is undertaken, which plays a key role in preserving natural ecosystems. The aim of this review was to show the problem of loss of biodiversity and to compare the structure of nature conservation forms in Spain and Poland.
