    Habitat Destruction

    Uploaded by

    Gaurjan
    Habitat destruction occurs for three main reasons: 1) clearing land for farming and housing, 2) natural resource extraction, and 3) marine pollution from human activities. This leads to decreased biodiversity as species lose habitats and food sources, disrupting ecosystems. Specifically, deforestation involves large-scale tree cutting that destroys forest habitats, exacerbating soil erosion, flooding, and increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    Habitat

    Destruction
    A Presentation by-
    Gaurjan and Sara
    Habitat Destruction
    Many habitats are destroyed by humans to make
    space for other economic activities, or by
    pollution from these activities. Consequently,
    the biodiversity of many places is decreasing.
    This interrupts food chain and food webs and
    means that more species may die because their
    pray has gone.
    1 THERE ARE THREE
    Causes of habitat

    Why is it important?
    1. Clearing land for farming
    and housing Do you know what helps you make your point
    crystal clear?
    Crops, livestock and homes all take up a large Lists like this one:
    amount of space. As there is an increasing
    population and demand for food, the amount ● They’re simple
    of land available for these things must be ● You can organize your ideas clearly
    increased by clearing habitats such as forests ● You’ll never forget to buy milk!
    (deforestation).
    And the most important thing: the audience
    won’t miss the point of your presentation
    2. Natural resource
    extraction
    National resources such as
    stone and wood must be
    gathered to make different
    products. Therefore many trees
    are cut down, destroying forest
    habitats. In addition, some
    resource extraction takes up a
    large amount of space, for
    example mining which means
    that the land must be cleared
    first.
    3. Marine Pollution

    Deforestation involves cutting down large amounts
    of trees to gather as resources for manufacturing or to
    clear space for other economic activities. This has a
    large amount of undesirable effects:-

    SOIL EROSION
    Without roots to anchor the soil, it is carried away by
    the wind and heavy rains. This decreases the fertility of
    these areas. Trees helps roots to stabilize the soil,
    preventing it from getting eroded by rain .They will
    usually take up the nutrients and minerals from the soil
    through their roots. Without trees, nutrients and
    minerals will remain unused in the soil so will be
    washed away into rivers and lakes by rain (leaching).
    The loss of soil nutrients is permanent and makes it
    very difficult for forest trees to regrow, even if the land
    is not cultivated with crop plants or grass for cattle.
    Flooding
    What should be preserved?

    Trees absorb carbon dioxide from


    the atmosphere during
    photosynthesis. If there are fewer
    trees, less carbon dioxide is
    absorbed, thus there is more in
    the atmosphere which contributes
    to global warming.
