Koala habitats are shrinking primarily because of increased urbanisation and housing developments. In the past, farming and agriculture destroyed many areas of koala habitation, but in recent times it is urban sprawl which creates the greatest threat.

What does shrinking habitats mean?

Shrinking habitats refer to the gradual reduction in the available living space for wildlife due to factors such as urban development, deforestation, and climate change.

What happens when a change occurs in an ecosystem?
