The main problem of habitat destruction is human beings acting carelessly towards the earth. Humans are only concerned about their own needs and put the earth second on their priority list. Humans want their society bigger and better and they are not thinking of the impact it has on nature. The main causes with connection to humans are air pollution, global warming, climate changes, expanding agriculture, developing houses and cities, wiping out forests, and fires.
Air pollution includes the excessive use of cars, buses, factories and smokers. Global warming and climate changes are the results of air pollution and carelessness of humans. Agriculture, houses and cities are expanding into animal’s habitats, which leads to animal population decreasing. Human’s irresponsibility to their own actions is one of the causes of forest fires.
If we do not address this problem now then our earth will slowly fall. Some of the consequences are animal species dying out, the lose of plants and natural areas, a decrease of necessities such as oxygen with the result of tree lose, and humans bathing in their own filth. This problem needs to be addressed to the public in order to take action!

I agree! This is a big issue in the environment, and people need to be aware. I really like learning about this and I am personally worried about the effects. People just don't understand that we rely on the plants we are killing for our life source: oxygen. We can't live without them, so we better start taking care of them!!
