Arrays of human activities from population explosion, urbanisation, gas flaring, oil spillage to destruction of mangrove duly translate to threatened biodiversity, even as such extensively results in animals cohabiting with one another and with humans which subsequently triggers zoonotic diseases, as evidence in the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and lately the monkey pox. It was against this background that this study leverages on Frustration Aggression Theory to analyse effects of threatened biodiversity on human security in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. The study employs food security and health security to measure human security. This study engages qualitative research design of publicly available archived documents with reliance on secondary data. The research is conducted by reviewing literature pertaining to threatened biodiversity. The literature was obtained through searches in publicly available material. Literature from non-serial publications, official reports, and conferences has been included particularly if they have been cited by other references in term biodiversity and human security. Results that emanate from this study revealed threatened biodiversity correlate with food insecurity, while result also shows a nexus between health insecurity and threatened biodiversity which extensively impacted on human productivity. This study submits that environmental hazards quickens decent living of humans. The study recommends that a cleaner environmental climate should be pursued by both State armed actors and non-state armed actors. While the Niger Delta Development Commission and the Federal Government should also give priority to enlightenment of activities negatively impacting biodiversity thus endangering both food security and health security.
