Yes. However, the impact of people on echidnas tends to be less than their impact on some other animal species. Echidnas are among the animals least impacted by European settlement of Australia, as they are found in such a wide range of habitats.

Do humans effect chameleons habitat?

Echidnas are one of Australia's native animals which have been least affected by human habitation. As echidnas feed on termites and ants, there is always a ready supply of these insects. However, this does not mean there is no effect on the echidna's habitat. Anywhere there is urban development is a threat to echidnas, whether this impact is by cars hitting the animals; echidnas being killed by domestic dogs; or building development such as bulldozers and other digging equipment. One of the major effects on echidnas is caused by flooding, often a result of humans changing natural watercourses by their activities. Echidnas can swim, but they cannot survive floodwaters.
