    Study Notes

    Habitat Loss

    • Many habitats around the world are threatened, which also threatens the living things that rely on them.
    • Habitat loss can cause other problems, such as flooding and climate change.

    Deforestation

    • Deforestation is the destruction of forests, often for timber, roads, houses, grazing cattle, or growing crops.
    • The UK used to be covered in forests, but most are now gone.
    • The Amazon Rainforest in South America is also disappearing, threatening the many precious animals and plants that live there, such as jaguars, harpy eagles, insects, and snakes.

    Wetlands

    • Wetlands are areas where the land is covered by water, including marshes, ponds, and floodplains.
    • They are important habitats that help fight global warming and are home to important species.
    • Wetlands are being destroyed by pollution and are being drained to build on.

    Coral Reefs

    • Coral reefs are ancient habitats under the sea, and coral is a living thing.
    • Lots of fish and other sea creatures live among the coral, and plants can grow there too.
    • Coral reefs are in danger, just like many other habitats around the world.
