Humans can change habitats by converting the land in one way or another. How and why we affect habitats depends on the type of habitat in question.
Forests - We cut down trees for several reasons, mainly to use the trees or to clear the forest out to allow for agriculture. In cutting down the forest, we take away habitat preferred by forest-dwelling plants and animals and often replace it with a sort of grassland-type of habitat that other animals may prefer.
Wetlands - We often drain wetlands to allow for agriculture or for building houses. These wetlands were seen for many generations to be useless swamps, but what we are finding is that when wetlands are removed, flooding tends to increase. Wetlands act like a big sponge that soaks up rainwater. Wetlands conservation is also critical to protect a number of animal species, especially birds, that require wetlands to survive. The Everglades were the first federally-protected wetlands in the U.S., and they were only set aside in the second half of the 20th century.
Grasslands/Prairie - Grasslands, especially in the American West, were converted very easily into pastures or farmland. In doing so, native animals such as bison, prairie dogs were forced out. The black-footed ferret nearly went extinct as a result of prairie dog extirpation.
Desert - Intensive agriculture in poor soil can cause desertification, i.e. the conversion of one habitat into desert. Although certain species live in deserts and can benefit from them, the result is generally not beneficial to mankind. Much of northern Africa and the Middle East that is now desert was once lush farmland in historic times.
Waterways - Overfishing is a major problem in the world's oceans. Pollution and ocean temperature changes can quickly kill entire coral reefs. Placing dams on rivers can control water levels, but can be harmful to fish that migrate upstream to spawn.
Humans affect the biosphere in numerous ways. One of the most common ways in which humans impact the biosphere is by their extraction of Natural Resources. Growth and expansion is another way in which humans affect the biosphere.
A dying tree with holes that animals live in represents a habitat, as it provides a specific environment where these animals can live. The animals living in the tree form a population within this habitat, as they are the same species living in the same area.
No, wasps cannot sense fear in humans and animals.
The main predators of the addax in its natural habitat are lions, leopards, and humans.
Humans affect artificial selection by selectively breeding organisms with desirable traits, leading to changes in their genetic makeup over generations. By controlling the mating of organisms, humans can accelerate the process of evolution to develop specific characteristics in plants, animals, and other organisms. This process has been used in agriculture, animal husbandry, and even in pets to produce desired traits.
Well some animals and humans may have the same habitat. It depends on the type of animal.
*How do pesticides affect humans and animals?
Yes, humans do affect the polar habitats. Pollution is one of the ways we can have an adverse effect the polar habitat. Global warming is another way we can affect the polar habitat.
Do not kill them
it destroys the habitat making them run for their life to another location wich probably is not safe for them or bringing them to close to humans wich endangers them.
yes
Humans. Humans are animals and live in some of the most hostile habitats known.
you can affect animal habitat by littering, not caring for the animals habitat or/and the animal itself...
Humans are destroying their habitat and using it to build roads and houses... animals are also being killed by poachers(people who illegally kill them for skins and meat) and their prey is starving due to weather conditions...so they starve too.
Animals are endangered because humans are destroying their habitat, hunting them, etc... Humans are not endangered, yet. If all animals disappeared, humans would have very much trouble surviving.
Because they can have homes like humans do,and they can have shelter.
yes. obviously. humans affect all environments by pollution.
