What is Habitat Destruction ?
A natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the species present.
Is when an animal loses it's natural home, usually caused by something human have done.
It affects all animals above it on the food chain.
One of the main treats to biodiversity.

Why did Habitat Destruction Start ?
We are the major cause of habitat destruction. We cut down trees for wood, agriculture, build roads and cities, and start forest fires.
We gain wood products, buildings, roads, food, and developed lands for our needs.

3 Effects Habitat Destruction have on animals, human, and the environment.
Animals - losing their homes because of the growing needs of the humans.
Human - disease outbreaks, population excess, lack of food, and increased wildlife-to-people interaction.
Environment - pollination and seed dispersal, climate regulation, pest and disease control, and indirect effects.

3 SOLUTIONS TO HABITAT DESTRUCTION

  • Build Sanctuaries
  • Stop deforestation
  • Stop building structures on other habitats

WHAT SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL ?

  • Build and create sanctuaries
  • Live an eco friendly life
  • Educate people to recylce

WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SUCCESSFUL ?

  • The sanctuaries are protected and,
  • supported by the people
  • Many people already live like that
  • We can save more money

WHAT SOLUTIONS HAVE FAILED ?

  • Stop deforestation
  • Stop dynamite fishing
  • Stop dumping chemicals,
  • and industrial waste in
  • rivers and oceans

WHY HAVE THEY FAILED ?

  • There are still illegal loggers
  • There are still illegal fishermen
  • The government is very relaxed
  • in implementing regulations
  • and policy

My thoughts on this problem and the solutions
All this problems are caused by humans the only way to fix this problem is to educate by campaigning, advertising, broadcasting on television and radio on how to save habitat loss or destruction and be strict with the law enforcement from offenders.

Examples of habitat destruction is affecting Biodiversity
Animals are killed crossing highways that divide their ranges and are at risk of losing genetic diversity if they cannot reach other local population to breed.


All forms of development alter natural ecosystems. Commercial forestry involves road-cutting though forests and the harvesting of trees that are important as shelter or food for some species.
