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.
