explain any three major threats to …

India is a country with over 1.2 billion people which puts a lot of stress on government resources and the environment in general. In the coming years, the following three factors will lead to increasing threats on the biodiversity of the country.

1. Limited Government Resources: Indian Government has a high budget for Military and Education but very little resources are diverted towards maintaining biodiversity. This is mostly because of a high number of poor in the country which require great attention.

2. Increasing Population: As the population increases, cities keep on growing, taking over farmland and forests, which will eventually lead to less area for biodiversity to survive and thrive and will be threatened by increasing human intervention. 

3. Illegal Trades: Criminal activities such as illegal hunting and poaching are rampant in a poor country like India, so much so that the indigenous elephant and tiger are almost extinct in the wild today. If the government does not take action, the situation will only worsen.
