In this week, I want to see you one of
milions parts of the animal's life. “Protect wildlife habitat” is
only a little redaction whose words say that how people influence in
anilas's life, and how few animals begin endangered. People have to
respect habitat.
Protect Wildlife Habitat
Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the
widespread destructio of habitat. Deforestation, farming,
over-grazing and development all result in irreversible changes—soil
compaction, erosion, desertification, and alteration of local
climatic conditions. Such land use practices vastly alter or even
eliminate wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species are present,
habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction.
By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be
protected together and when communities are kept intact, less
conservation intervention is required to ensure species survival.
Parks, reserves, and other protected lands are too often the only
habitats left untouched by habitat destruction.
Habitat Destruction
Definition: Habitat
destruction is the process by which natural habitat is damaged or
destroyed to such an extent that it no longer is capable of
supporting the species and ecological communities that naturally
occur there. It often results in the extinction of species and, as a
result, the loss of boidiversity.
Habitat can be destroyed directly by many human activities, most
of which involve the clearing of land for other uses such as
agriculture, mining, logging, hydroelectric dams and urbanization.
Habitat can also be destroyed indirectly by human activities such as
pollution, fragmentation, climate change and the introduction of
invasive species. Although much habitat destruction can be attributed
to human activity, it is not an exclusively man-made phemomenon.
Habitat loss also occurs as a result of natural events such as
floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and climate fluctuations.
Although habitat destruction primarily causes species extinctions,
it can also open up new habitat that might provide an environment in
which new species can evolve, thus demonstrating the resiliency of
life on Earth. Sadly, humans are destroying natural habitats at a
rate and on spatial scales that exceed what most species and
communities can cope with.
Habitat destruction is fueled by a fast-growing human population.
As population increases, humans use more land for agriculture and
cities and towns spread out ever-widening areas. The effects of
habitat destruction not only impact native species and communities,
but they impact human populations as well. Degraded lands are
frequently lost to erosion, desertification, and nutrient depletion.
Natural disasters such as floods, droughts, outbreak of pests and
water pollution take a toll on human populations.
Conservationists often seek to protect habitat in order to save
species. For example, the Biodiversity Hotspot program organized by
Conservation International protects fragile habitats around the
world. Their aim is to protect areas around the globe that contain
high concentrations of threatened of species.
Habitat destruction is not the only threat facing wildlife, but it
is quite likely the greatest threat. If the depletion of natural
habitat around the globe does not slow, mass extinctions are sure to
follow.
