HABITAT DESTRUCTION

WHO

• We are causing the problem
• When we cut down trees to build houses or to farm
• When we cut down forest or drain lakes to build cities and roads
• Also forest fires destroy habitats and kill animals

WHAT

• It is when an animal loses it's natural home
• Usually caused by humans
• In Borneo the number of rhinos has dropped down to under 50

WHEN

• It occurs when a natural habitat
• Is changed so dramatically
• That it can no longer support the species
• It originally supported.

WHERE

• It is occurring all around the world
• It is mostly happening where human population is
• It also happens a lot to different forest and rain forest

WHY

• It is occurring because we need different resources
• And minerals and by getting them we're destroying habitats

HOW

• It effects animals by destroying there habitat
• And there species might die out and by doing that
• It will effect the animals above it on the food chain.

SOLUTIONS

• We could use reusable resources
• Instead of using unreusable resources that destroy
• Habitats.

ENDANGERED SPECIES

• One if the top endangered species is the ivory billed woodpecker.
