Habitat destruction has been around for all of eternity, but it has been humans who have really done most of it. Since humans have lived, they have destroyed more environment then any other way has.There are many ways that a habitat can be destroyed. Deforestation, urbanization and agriculture are the 3 most common causes of habitat destruction
