 '''Habitat loss''' is the destruction of natural habitats that are needed for wildlife. One common type of habitat loss is '''[[deforestation]]''' (destruction of forests).
-==What causes it==
+==Main causes==
-Agriculture is the biggest cause of habitat loss, as so many wild forests are destroyed to make new farmland. [[Agriculture uses more land]] than all other land usage combined. {{pn|TODO: mention a few other/smaller causes}}
+* Habitats are destroyed mostly to make room for farm land (especially pasture). [[global land usage - status quo|Agriculture uses more land]] than all other land usage combined.
-==What has to be done about it==
+<!-- TODO:
+* Also mention something about wood (i.e. "Wild forests are sometimes cut down for wood, even though there are better alternatives...") but then I'm not sure how to provide the proper context about sustainable tree farming etc.
+-->
+==What should be done==
 * '''[[Reduce the amount of land required to feed the world]]'''
 * [[Stop old-growth logging]]
 * Better-enforced policies & laws, in various regions of the world - [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|discussion needed]]
