The main cause of habitat loss for many species is human activities, particularly through deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. As land is converted for farming, settlements, and infrastructure, natural habitats are destroyed or fragmented, leading to reduced biodiversity. Habitat loss disrupts ecosystems, making it difficult for species to find food, shelter, and mates. This loss can also increase competition and vulnerability to extinction. Efforts to mitigate habitat loss through conservation, sustainable practices, and restoration are crucial for preserving ecosystems and their inhabitants.
