The natural world and its habitats are of major importance to different species including humans, but it has and is not being protected or respected due to the fact that governments and corporations can profit from its resources. This ISU goes into detail on the issue of habitat loss that is occurring at an alarming rate globally. Rainforests and mangrove forests are only a few habitats covered in this research paper, and the effect that is caused once they are removed or degraded. The repercussions caused by habitat loss are always emphasized and analysed, so the significance of this issue can be understood. With this, the topic of biodiversity comes into play, and how much humanity relies on the services it provides. As a species, humans have already inflicted significant damage on habitats and nature, and so solutions are analysed and explored to see where we can go from here.
