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.

Do humans and animals have the same habitat?
Well some animals and humans may have the same habitat. It depends on the type of animal.
Why are some animal populations decreasing?
Loss of habitat, hunting by humans etc. Tertiary consumers are generally lower in numbers and when their habitat is destroyed or their food is missing, it is very easy for their numbers to diminish in that certain area.
Why some animals are in danger of becoming extinct?
because people are causing global warming causing ice to melt for polar bears and trees are being cut down in the amazon There are many reasons for animal endangerment. Overhunting, poaching, loss of habitat, deforestation among them. But, there is no irrefutable evidence of global warming being caused by humans, even if it is happening at all.
What has caused diamondback rattlesnake numbers to become threatened?
Wanton killing of rattlesnakes by those who are ignorant of the value of the snakes to the environment and habitat loss is causing numbers to decline in some areas.
What are some of the things that are causing birds to become extinct?
There are many things causing bird populations to decline all over the world. Some of them are loss of habitat, changing climate, polluting of food sources, disruption of migration paths, over hunting, and predation from domestic cats.
Are humans a threat to tree kangaroos?
Yes. The main danger to tree kangaroos is habitat loss, a direct result of human activity. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source. Unlike some other highly adaptable marsupials, tree kangaroos need a very specific habitat. Also, in parts of northern Australia, quite a few tree kangaroo deaths are caused by cars. Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem, and these species have only been introduced by humans.
What are some problems facing gorillas today?
Poaching, civil wars between humans and habitat loss are the biggest threats to wild gorillas' well being and survivability as a species.
What is the main extinction?
Hunting and habitat loss. For some animals sickness.
How many pygmy rattlesnakes are endangered?
No. Neither the Eastern Diamondback nor the Western Diamondback are endangered species. They have lost much of their habitat to human development, but there are still vast areas that they inhabit that are inhospitable to humans.
Who are the enemies of the panda bears?
Giant Pandas have very few predators. Humans are their primary predators, though animals such as leopards are also predators mostly of cubs. The largest threat to them though is not predators, but habitat loss.
