The predominant features that create structural complexity in the environment, such as plants or animals are called as a habitat.
A process, in which natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the plants and animals occupying it, is named as Habitat destruction. In the process of habitat destruction, plants and animals that previously used the place are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity.
Nearly half of the planet’s plant and animal species live in Rainforests. Less than 2.5 billion acres of Tropical Forest have remained out of four billion acres on the Earth within a few hundred years.
Humans have a complex relationship with animals and use them for a variety of purposes. There are working animals, companion animals, animals used for scientific research, and animals used for food and by-products.

The balance of nature is maintained by its different components -living and non-living, if they remain unaltered by human beings.
The growing human population and backwardness of agriculture remained the principal reasons behind the scarcity of food in India up…
With the growth of human population, more and more land was cleared for cultivation, housing and cattle rearing. Later, as towns and cities started developing, vast areas of land were started to be consumed in making roads, rail tracks, bridges, buildings, markets, trade centres, Educational and Research Centres, hospitals, railway junctions, etc.
Land resources are used for a variety of purposes which may include organic agriculture, reforestation, water resource management and eco-tourism projects. In all these areas land use is needed to be sustainable.
Species become endangered due to both natural and anthropogenic causes. Since man has no control over natural causes, we should consider anthropogenic causes only. Anthropological causes may be classified into two fundamental categories: Direct Causes and Indirect or underlying causes.
An association of all the plants at a particular place is called a Plant Community and the association of all the animals at the same place is called an Animal Community. Both the plant and animal communities inhabit a particular place living completely merged and interacting among them. Members of a community not only interact with the members of other communities, they interact with the members of their community and with the physical environment around them, as well.
