Nowadays, land use and habitat loss is a term widely used to describe the loss of biodiversity (the different types of plant and animal species) in any particular area. For instance, non-sustainable land use, such as deforestation (chopping down forests) is a major cause of habitat loss (plants and animals can no longer survive in the changed environment). Human agriculture (land use) also has a great impact on biodiversity.
