Why might a scientist say that An animal is becoming rare because of habitat destruction???

Answer 1

the animal is becoming endagered because of it's home is being destroyed, cut down, etc..

Answer 2

This is a complex issue and takes into account many factors. Animals often rely on specific habitats for their food resources, such as Koalas with Gum leaves or the Orange Bellied Parrot uses food only found in estuarine salt marshes. The pressure from human activity (whether from development, logging or polluting activities) often causes these habitats often become fragmented and their ability to provide food and shelter for larger populations decreases. Habitat destruction can also lead to poor gene pools for the remnant population, leading to inbreeding and posible problems with a dropping fertility rate. All these factors, along with other more complex factors, lead to a drop in population that can cause an animal (s) to become rare and endangered. Hope that answers your question...

Answer 3

WHY might a scientist say this? Because he/she wants more funding to study the animal and/or it's habitat.

Answer 6

People are taking away forest -- forest is where animals live.
People are making more babies making for more population.
More population, more homes, more factories, more jobs, more toilet paper, more forest and swamp lands are destroyed.

Answer 7

we can said so.
animals need space to life. need space to hunt or gather his food. need room to mate. how can they survive if they dont have all of the nessesary need.animals isnt robot that dont have to eat.or to mate.
is that clear?
so we should preserve the habitation.

Answer 8

because there are less of those animals in the world.

Answer 9

it means we humans are destroying the place it lives (like forests or swamps, ect) and so it either has to adapt to new places or die

Answer 10

wouldn't people become rare if there were no more houses?
