what is the main cause of habitat destruction?
clearing habitats for agriculture
habitat destruction is the process by which natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. in this process, the organisms that previously used the site are displaced or destroyed reducing biodiversity. habitat destruction by human activity is mainly for the purpose of harvesting natural resources for industrial production and urbanization. clearing habitats for agriculture is the principal cause of habitat destruction. other important causes of habitat destruction include mining, logging, trawling, and urban sprawl. habitat destruction is currently ranked as the primary cause of species extinction worldwide. it is a process of natural environmental change that may be caused by habitat fragmentation, geological processes, climate change or by human activities such as the introduction of invasive species, ecosystem nutrient depletion, and other human activities.

section::::human causes.:global warming.





























rising global temperatures, caused by the greenhouse effect, contribute to habitat destruction, endangering various species, such as the polar bear. melting ice caps promote rising sea levels and floods which threaten natural habitats and species globally.





























section::::drivers.





























while the above-mentioned activities are the proximal or direct causes of habitat destruction in that they actually destroy habitat, this still does not identify why humans destroy habitat. the forces that cause humans to destroy habitat are known as "drivers" of habitat destruction. demographic, economic, sociopolitical, scientific and technological, and cultural drivers all contribute to habitat destruction.
