Hacer un mapa conceptual de esto: Habitat Loss

If a habitat is destroyed or so badly damaged that it no longer provides what's needed for a species to live there, the species has experienced habitat loss. When a species experiences serious levels of habitat loss, its population declines and it can become endangered.

Terrestrial Habitat Loss

One of the main causes of terrestrial habitat loss is deforestation in which entire forests are cleared, either to harvest timber or to create land for agriculture. These are some of the world's richest habitats where nearly half of all the plant and animal species on Earth live. Even if the cleared land is then used to create tree plantations, they are usually for a single species like the oil palm or the rubber tree. Replacing forests with plantations often destroys all the natural habitats in an entire region, leaving wildlife with nowhere to live.

Aquatic Habitat Loss

Many of these habitats are breeding grounds and sources of food for water birds, and their loss is seriously endangering many species. Marine habitats throughout the world's oceans are also coming under threat. Fleets of fishing boats trawl the oceans and bring up everything in their nets, but only keep the fish they can sell. The rest is left to die and then thrown back, and doing this can disrupt food chains in marine habitats.

Respuesta:

Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to species. The world's forests, swamps, plains, lakes, and other habitats continue to disappear as they are harvested for human consumption and cleared to make way for agriculture, housing, roads, pipelines and the other hallmarks of industrial development. Without a strong plan to create terrestrial and marine protected areas important ecological habitats will continue to be lost.

It is identified as a main threat to 85% of all species described in the IUCN's Red List (those species officially classified as "Threatened" and "Endangered").

Increasing food production is a major agent for the conversion of natural habitat into agricultural land.

Why is it happening?

Forest loss and degradation is mostly caused by the expansion of agricultural land, intensive harvesting of timber, wood for fuel and other forest products, as well as overgrazing.
