species loss
Animals dying out
Species loss is the decline or extinction of plant and animal species, typically caused by habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, or human activity.
The term appears in environmental and scientific contexts: Species loss in the Amazon threatens the entire ecosystem.
Unlike extinction, which may refer to a single species, species loss usually describes a broader pattern affecting biodiversity.
