Habitat destruction occurs when a habitat is damaged or destroyed, reducing the environment's capacity to support the species living there. Key causes of habitat destruction include increasing food production, mining, forest fires, overgrazing, and urban development. The effects are widespread and include animal extinction, disruption of food chains, loss of resources, and increased pollution and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect habitats through limiting disruptive activities, monitoring environmental quality, and protecting coastal and marine areas. However, fully protecting the complex, variable environment remains a significant challenge.

HABITAT DESTRUCTION

2. INTRODUCTION: A habitat is an ecological
or environmental area that is inhabited by a
particular species of animal, plant or other type
of organism. The term typically refers to the zone in
where the organism lives and find food, shelter,
protection and mates for reproduction. It is the
natural environment in which an organism lives, or
the physical environment that surrounds by a
species population.

3. DEFINITION OF HABITAT:
The word "habitat" has been used since about
1755 and derives from the Latin word. It means to
have or to hold. Habitat can be defined as the
natural environment of an organism in where it live
and grow. It is similar in meaning to a biotope, an
area of uniform environmental conditions
associated with a particular species of plants and
animals.

4. TYPES OF HABITATS:
There are so many type of habitat in the world.
Terrestrial habitat include
Forests,
Grasslands,
Wetlands
Deserts etc.
Many of these habitats grade into each other and
each one has its own typical communities of plants
and animals. A habitat may suitable for a particular
species well.

5. FRESHWATER HABITAT:
Freshwater habitats include rivers, streams, lakes,
ponds etc .Although some organisms are found across most
of these habitats, and the majority have more specific
requirements.

6. MARINEWATER HABITAT:
Marine habitats include brackish water estuaries,
bays, open sea, sea bed, reefs and deep water zones.
Further variations include rock pools, mudflats, brackish
lagoons, sandy beaches, and sea grass beds.
all of these supporting their own flora and fauna

7. DESERT HABITAT:
A desert is the kind of habitat that favors the
presence of amphibians, with their requirement for water
to keep their skins moist and for the development of their
young. Some frogs live in deserts, creating moist habitats
in hibernating condition and underground while
conditions are adverse.

8. MICROHABITATS:
A microhabitat is the small-scale physical
requirements of a particular organism or population. Every
habitat includes large numbers of microhabitats with subtly
different exposure to light, humidity, temperature, air
movement, and other factors.

9. EXTREME HABITATS:
Although the vast majority of life on Earth lives
in mesophyllic environments, but few organisms, most of
them are microbes are managed their colonies in extreme
environments that unsuitable for higher life forms.
for example, living in Lake .
MONOTYPIC HABITAT:
A monotypic habitat is a single species of animal or
plant is so dominant to other species.
Ex-The monotypic habitat occurs in botanical and
zoological contexts

10. HABITAT CHANGE:
Whatever from natural processes or the activities of
man habitats change over time.The main reason is
Earthquakes,
 Storms,
 Flooding,
Wildfires,
Coastal erosion,
 Deforestation,
Change in land use.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
The chief environmental factors affecting the distribution of
living organisms are temperature, humidity, climate, soil type
and light intensity.These also help to change the habitat.

11. Habitat destruction: In the simplest term, when
a habitat is destroyed, the plants, animals, and other
organisms that occupied in habitat have reduced carrying
capacity so that populations become decline and extinct.
Perhaps the greatest threat to organisms and biodiversity is
the process of habitat loss.
Cause of habitat destruction?
There are so many reason for habitat destruction
these are-
Increasing food production.
Mining.
Forest fire.
Overgrazing.
Building roads and cities.

12. Marine habitat and destruction.
Marine life depends in the saltwater that is in the sea.
Marine habitat destruction include
Pollution.
Logging.
Draining of wetlands .
Coastal development.
All factors that lead to marine habitat destruction. .

13. Effects of habitat destruction.
There are many effects of habitat destruction these
are basically
 Animal extinction.
 Effect of food chain.
 Loss of resources.
 Climate change.
 Effect of land.
 Global warming.
 Pollution increases.
 Invite disasters.

14. HABITAT CONSERVATION:
 Habitat conservation is a management practice that
conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants
and animals, especially conservation reliant species.
 Marine sites that prohibiting the fishing, mineral
extraction, and other habitat-altering activities.
 Land use based on scientific way and needed to protect
the coastal areas.
Some conservation efforts are empowering for
monitoring water quality.

15. CONCLUSION:
However, since the environment (habitat) is a
complex, variable and extensive system, protecting the
environment is a hard task. It is impossible that all the
existing pollution problems in the environmental can
completely be solve in the next decade.
It is the responsibility for everyone to protect our
environment. Let us fulfill our responsibilities in
environmental protection , creating a quality ecological
environment and sharing wonderful green living earth.
