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

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. TODO: mention a few other/smaller causes

What has to be done about it

Reduce the amount of land required to feed the world
Stop old-growth logging
Better-enforced policies & laws, in various regions of the world - discussion needed
