A platypus habitat is not dependent on trees. They just need a permanent water supply, but do seem to prefer tree-sheltered riverbanks.
The platypus's habitat has been affected by European settlement of Australia, just as the habitats of all Australian animals have been affected. land clearing for agriculture and settlement has resulted in increased water pollution levels, and turbidity. Fewer trees have meant less shelter to cover the entryway to the platypuses' burrows in the banks of creeks and rivers.

A platypus is not a habitat. A platypus lives in a habitat. Platypuses live near freshwater creeks and rivers in heavily wooded and protected regions of eastern Australia. Their habitat is bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland.
