Habitat destruction has been a significant environmental issue since the advent of agriculture over 10,000 years ago, as humans began to clear forests and convert land for farming. The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries accelerated this process, leading to urbanization, deforestation, and the draining of wetlands. In the 20th century, rapid population growth and industrialization further intensified habitat loss through urban sprawl, mining, and infrastructure development. Today, habitat destruction continues to pose a major threat to biodiversity, contributing to species extinction and ecosystem degradation worldwide.
