How does habitat loss affect species?

What happens to animals when their habitat is destroyed?

When habitats are destroyed, animals lose their homes, food sources, and breeding grounds, leading to population declines.

Can you give examples of species affected by habitat loss?

Sure! Species like the orangutan, polar bear, and many amphibians are severely impacted by habitat loss due to deforestation and climate change.

How does habitat loss contribute to extinction?

Habitat loss can lead to extinction by isolating populations, reducing genetic diversity, and making it difficult for species to find food and mates.

What can be done to prevent habitat loss?

Preventing habitat loss involves conservation efforts, sustainable land use practices, and protecting natural areas through legislation.
