From what we know, we can confirm that settlement in the lands obtained through the Louisiana Purchase negatively affected biodiversity in the region.

Why was biodiversity negatively affected?

This has to do with habitat destruction. When a settlement takes place, three things occur:

  1. Trees are cut down and plants are taken to provide building materials.
  2. Natural habitats are disturbed and destroyed.
  3. Hunting and foraging take place.

Each of these leads to the diminishing of biodiversity in the region.

Therefore, we can confirm that biodiversity is negatively impacted in the region following the settlement in the lands obtained through the Louisiana Purchase due to hunting, foraging, and habitat destruction.
