What are examples of habitat alteration?

Habitat destruction is the complete removal of the vegetation and animal life in an area, typically for the purpose of development or resource extraction. Some examples of habitat destruction include:

* Deforestation for the logging industry, agriculture, or urban development

* Wetland drainage for development

* Strip mining for coal, copper, and other minerals

* Dam建设

* Road construction

Habitat degradation is the modification of the environment in a way that makes it less suitable for the organisms that live there. Some examples of habitat degradation include:

* Pollution of air, water, or soil

* Introduction of invasive species

* Overgrazing by livestock

* Unsustainable logging practices

* Climate change

Both habitat destruction and degradation can have significant negative impacts on biodiversity, as they can result in the loss of species, decreased ecosystem resilience, and impaired ecosystem services.
