The loss of habitats is caused by the planet continually changing, causing habitats to be altered and modified. Natural changes tend to happen at a gradual pace, usually causing only a slight impact on wildlife. However when these changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or even no time for wildlife to react and adjust to the new environmental changes. This can result into a disaster, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of the endangerment of species. However the strongest force in rapid habitat loss is the human itself. About every region of the earth has been affected by human activity in both positive and negative ways. Especially during this past century, including the loss of microbes in soil that formerly support tropical forests, as well as the extinction of fish and various aquatic species in polluted habitats caused by boats and ships. Also the changes in global climate brought about by the release of greenhouse gasses which is a result of human activity causing habitat loss.
