There are several causes of '''habitat''' destruction you may know:
*[[Deforestation]] - In which [[human]]s cut down large numbers of [[tree]]s.
*[[Desertification]] - In which [[human]]s cause the [[soil]] to be unable to hold as much [[water]] or [[nutrient]]s causing it to become too arid and infertile to support [[plant]]s.
*Damming Rivers - In which [[human]]s block the flow of [[river]]s causing large areas of land to be [[flooded]] by fresh water.
*Building Tidal Barrages - In which [[human]]s block the flow of the [[tide]] at coastal locations killing [[organism]]s that rely on the changes of the [[tide]]stides.
*[[Global Warming]] - In which the average [[temperature]] of [[Earth]] increases changing weather patterns in many different [[ecosystem]]s possibly causing drought, flooding, temperature rises or temperature falls depending on the location.
