Habitat Loss Research: Jonathan Etienne 4/16/15

There are three major kinds of habitat loss, habitat destruction, fragmentation, and degradation. Habitat destruction is when people directly destroy a habitat such as bulldozing over trees, filling in wetlands, and dredging rivers. Habitat fragmentation is when species are split up in fragments by roads and development. Fragment habitats cannot support species that need large territory to find food and other things. Habitat degradation is when pollution and invasive species disrupts the natural process of the ecosystem.
