Strip-mining hillsides
Humans can lower biodiversity through activities like habitat destruction (e.g., deforestation, urbanization), introduction of invasive species, overexploitation of Natural Resources, and pollution of air, water, and soil. These actions can disrupt ecosystems, reduce species diversity, and lead to imbalance in the natural environment.
Replacing forests with farms, driving cars, using large amounts of paper, and strip mining hillsides.
All the the above.

Biodiversity is important because it gives us the variety in our lives and shows us how people, plants and animals are all different even if they all live in the same environment. Biodiversity describes the different life forms found within an ecosystem. It is a measure of the health of an ecosystem and greater biodiversity implies greater health. See the related links for more information.
Three ways with which humans interact with the environment include dependency for livelihood, to modify it and adapt to conditions.

Population growth can affect biodiversity because the more people there are; the more space and resources are needed. Trees are cut down and habitats destroyed because of wood and other resources such as medicine are needed as well as to make space for shelter.
The diversity of functions an organism can hold in its environment, and the diversity of habitats in which it can live. (Example) A shark is very niche diverse because it can live in an environment with live fish and eat them, or an environment with mostly dead fish and just eat the dead ones. That's why sharks are "living fossils."
