Changed or degraded habitat through several processes such as logging, swamps dried, sea cliffs reclaimed, rivers constrained to make dams, forest areas are opened up for agriculture and settlements and pollution occur due to certain activities. The impact of this change and habitat destruction sometimes cannot be discovered in a short time. Sometimes this effect does not occur directly but it correlates and can destroy several animal species after going through a long period of time.

Opening certain forest areas for example may break and minimize habitat animals such as tigers and elephants in need of a large and spacious area to get food, shelter and breeding. Small habitat has complicated these animals to compete for food and reduce the reliability of finding a mate for breeding purposes. Both of these things can cause the death of animals and reduce the number. For an example Sumatera Rhino had decrease in number because of hard to find the mate for breeding purpose, this had cause the number of Sumatera Rhino always

Overhunting can hit a species hard because it gives little time to react. Although some can.

    Extinction and evolution are a normal part of the life cycle on Earth. Of all the species that ever have lived on the earth only between one and six percent exist today (Shiva et al, 1991, 15). Many mass extinctions have previously occurred killing of as much as 90% of life on earth in one fell swoop. In 1995 there were 26,106 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes invertebrates and plant that were considered endangered, vulnerable rare or indeterminate, (Watson, 1995, 26), that figure is certainly higher today. Conservation biologists warn that 25 percent of all species could become extinct during the next twenty to thirty years (Shiva et al, 1991, 15).…

Humans are also a part of the life cycle and depend on all of these damaged natural resources to maintain the life we live every day. Properly functioning natural systems give us the ability to breath, create safe food and drinking water and provide us with everything we need to survive. Each species plays an important role in its ecosystem. Habitat loss and degradation is one of the biggest threats to animals and plants on earth and is steadily increasing. Habitat can be lost or damaged in a number of ways. Direct damage is when habitats are physically changed, such as when a shoreline is replaced by a sea wall or a wetland is filled. Pollution can cause indirect damage which is when damage is cause through no direct contact with the environment by making an environment too toxic species to live there. There are too many causes for habitat loss to lay out in one sitting but there are a few here in which you as an individual can help fix or make better.…
