Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tunji Bello, in a statement issued on Saturday to commemorate the year 2021 Biodiversity Day, said the greatest problems facing biological diversity are habitat destructions, overexploitation, pollution and climate change.
He added that deforestation, sand-filling of wetlands and other open water bodies, construction of buildings and overfishing or overhunting amongst others result in considerable changes in the ecological balance.

He expressed the hope that when the project eventually commences, it will help protect the critically endangered species from extinction and serve as a springboard for their sustained population in the wild.
