Question

What is meant by habitat loss?

Answer 1

Habitat loss:

1. When an organism's natural habitat, such as rainforests or wetlands, is altered to the point where it can no longer support the species' existence, this is known as environmental loss.
2. Plant and animal extinction is mostly caused by habitat loss, which results in biodiversity extinction.
3. Habitat destruction is the process through which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.
4. The organisms that used to live in the area have been relocated or destroyed, leading to a reduction in biodiversity and species abundance.
5. Land conversion for development by expanding populations, mining for resources, harvesting lumber for paper goods, and, of course, agriculture are all causes of habitat loss.
