The correct answer is: Ex-situ conservation
Ex-situ conservation is not responsible for biodiversity loss, rather it is a method of conservation of biodiversity. It conserves selected rare plants/animals in places outside their natural homes.
Alien species invasion, co-extinction and deforestation result in extinction of many species and loss of biodiversity.
