Examples of habitat loss:
Fishermen or cargo ships that leak oil into the ocean cause a habitat loss for marine animals. Federal wildlife officials reported 718 water animals dead on shore. All visibly covered in oil. The population was already decreasing due to overfishing but the fishermen's oil over did the habitat loss. The oil is also toxic to fish eggs which makes baby fish die and the population cannot reproduce and dies off. Other marine animals then swim through to dead habitat and they suffocate from the oil in the water. The fish and other animals then have to strive to make a new habitat in a new area hoping no oil gets spilled.
Another example of habitat loss is overpopulation which leads to deforestation. Overpopulation is when too many people live in one area and the area becomes too crowed. This affects animal habitats in the forest. Overpopulation leads to deforestation. Deforestation is clear-cutting or slashing and burning trees. When an area is overpopulated, forests start to be cut down and the animals living in the forest start lose their home. When the whole forest is gone, all the animals living inside of the forest have completely lost their habitat and have to go start a new one.

Efforts to improve the situation:
Habitat loss is probably the greatest threat to the variety of life on this planet today. According to IUCN's habitat loss is identified as a main threat to eighty five percent of all species. The three major habitat loss is destruction, fragmentation, and degradation. Wildlife Habitat organization brings people together to plant native plants and puts out a water source so you can raise water.
Habitat loss affects over 2000 mammal species around the world, and is considered the greatest threat to species across the globe. Also increasing food production is one reason for the conversion of natural habitat into agricultural land. WWF contributes to the livelihoods and well-being of local communities and society more broadly. For example, well planned and well manage protected areas can help to safeguard fresh water, food supplies, reduce poverty and reduce the impacts of natural disaster.

Human Threats to the Environment:
Habitat loss is the main threat to over 85% of all species, and their homes- forests, swamps, plains, and lakes- are all being cleared out for beneficial human purposes such as:
* Agriculture
* Housing
* Roads and
* Pipelines
Habitat loss for nature's animals is mainly caused by:
* Land Expansion- In the 1990's, over 70% of deforested areas have been converted into land for agricultural purposes.
* Timber harvesting/Wood for fuel, and
* Overgrazing
Degradation, or the condition or process of degrading or being degraded, is the result of harmful human impact on natural resources, especially in marine and/or coastal areas. Causes of degradation can be population growth, urbanization, industrialization, tourism, poverty, consumption, and patterns for land use, which are all factors related to human interactions with the environment.
Conservation Plan:
Although there are already many acts in play that are related to conserving nature's balance and purpose in the world, more action needs to be taken in order to ensure that the safety of organisms in any environment remains in tact, and that there is no possible risk of a species extinction due to the superiority of the humans on land altercations. Sanctuaries, fishery management areas, state conservation areas, and wildlife refuges are already established, or should be established, to protect any and every habitat, especially/mostly if a particular ecosystem contains a species. Some effective ways of protecting an ecosystem involve banning fishing or hunting where excessive amounts of organisms live and thrive or extracting minerals from the waters that could in turn be very dangerous and harmful to both the humans and other organisms living or working in or around a site.
Along with professionals in the conservation fields of work, many organizations are giving citizens the possibility and responsibility of making conservation efforts. Along with the science behind habitat loss, humans have the choice of making land conservation reforms by monitoring the water quality, photographing areas that could be dangerous to organisms, and providing information to local policy makers about marked areas for action.
