Habitat Destruction In The Environment

The recent years have shown just what effect we have had on the planet when it comes to destructing rainforest or the ever-rising ocean. We seem to forget about the impact it has on the species, the environment and even the future generation who are going to inherit this planet. In this essay, we are going to talk about the definition of habitat destruction, the causes, effects and suggest some solutions. You may wonder why should you care. We live in a habitat and we certainly don’t want some species coming in and inhabitant it with us because this can lead to new complications. For example, one of the problems raised by the destruction of the rainforest is that there are a lot of different organisms that live there with various diseases that

In the present, habitat destruction effects on a large scale, constantly destroying habitats such as oceans and rainforest which leads to biodiversity loss. Every year species is in danger of extinction and The outcomes of it have an impact on the balance and the food chain. Many species will lose their source of

Miller (2017) reports that deforestation contributes to global warming by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, which will cause the heat to rise to an unbearable rate especially in the Middle East and African countries. That will make those places uninhabitable and force people and animals to immigrate to places nearer to the poles. Having an immense number of people and animals in one place can result in food and water shortage and inner conflicts. Also, having people neglecting their countries and culture can lead to a loss of identity and individuality. Another effect will be that wood will be expansive because of its rareness, and that will trigger criminal to illegal cut the remaining trees for profits. Another result that will cause by habitat destruction is the decrease of oxygen amount. Since trees are enormous plants, their production of oxygen is significant. It is expected by Curley (2017) that 40 percent of the earth's oxygen is generated by tropical rainforests, though they cover only about 6 percent of the land. Rainforests in the Amazon have reduced by 17 percent in the last 50 years as a result of deforestation and that will work on decreasing the amount of oxygen and rising the mortality rate of all living beings. On the worst case scenario, the planet will be a non-habitable and people will have no choice but to flee to other hostable planets such as Mars or stay and witness the
