Loss of Biodiversity refers to the decline or complete disappearance of the genetic, species, and ecosystem-level diversity of living organisms on Earth. Biological diversity is a composite of genetic diversity, which encompasses genetic variation; species diversity, which includes all organisms in a given area; and habitat diversity, which arises from varied environmental conditions. Today, this diversity has increased to hundreds of times the natural extinction rate predicted by geological rec

Lantana camara (Lantana camara L.) is a member of the Verbenaceae (Verbenaceae) family, which is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily in the Indian subcontinent, reaching a height of 0.5–2 meters, and typically developing as a perennial, woody shrub.
