Humans do many things to harm the natural environment:
They cut down trees for fuel and material, leaving many animals with loss of habitat (deforestation), leading to floods (trees have a large intake of water, and without them the ground can become saturated) and of course the greenhouse effect, which is, in the long run, flooding all of these habitats via rising sea levels.
The amount of waste materials humans produce is also enormous, Antarctica for example has been martyred for being the last great wilderness, and you can find cruise ships going there from the Caribbean! But where do they dump the waste? Not Antarctica itself, but you can find similar wildlife on many of the surrounding islands.
Leading on from Antarctica, the polar ice caps are melting, meaning a loss of habitat for all Arctic animals.
I cannot go into enough depth about water in rivers being polluted.
As cities grow and more land is used, environments are destroyed along the way.
Ever heard of DDT? Used in the 60s-70s, it is a pesticide used to kill off insects. However, it was not biodegradable (did not decay) and entered the food chain when it was washed into lakes or rivers.
Through bio-accumulation (if the bottom animal in the food chain have a little bit of poison, then the next will eat several of them and have a bit more poison) the population of major bird in Britain and Europe drastically decreased.
In Australia Cane Toads are one of the biggest problems.

How do humans affect a chameleons habitats?
Humans can affect chameleons' habitats through deforestation, urban development, and pollution. Deforestation reduces the availability of trees for chameleons to live in, urban development can disrupt their natural habitats, and pollution can harm the food sources they rely on.
Why do humans destroy natural habitats?

What is a way that trees have been negatively impacted by human use?
Humans are destroying natural habitats by logging areas until they are completely decimated. Humans also destroy habitats by polluting areas with waste.
How can the bears harm the others?
Bears in their natural environment are not a problem. When humans enchroach on this environment, humans create problems.
What are often the results of natural diasters?

How do humans harm the mountain biome?
When humans cut down trees, which are natural habitats to animals. Also, if we pollute the oceans by throwing garbadge or anything like that, marine animals can get stuck in the garbadge. Also, with new buildings and being put up, we are taking away animal habitats.
Are penguins harmless?
Penguins are generally harmless towards humans and not aggressive by nature. However, they can become defensive if they feel threatened or if their nest or young ones are endangered. It's important to respect their space and observe them from a safe distance in their natural habitats.
What does human disturbance mean?
Human disturbance refers to any action or activity by humans that interferes with the natural environment, habitats, or ecosystems. This can include activities such as pollution, deforestation, urban development, and noise pollution, which can disrupt the balance and harm the indigenous flora and fauna in an area.
