time a new suburban development goes up where once
there was a forest or field, the habitat is destroyed.
The impact of growing human populations in urban
and suburban areas is so widespread that species
disappear even from parks and reserves in densely
populated areas. For instance, ecologists studied a
large preserve near Boston, and there they found that
150 of the park’s native plant species had vanished. The
initial cause of the species loss was most likely trampling
and other disruptions as more people visited the park.
However, the increasing number of homes in the area
and the diminishing number of nearby natural areas
also contributed to the loss of species. Furthermore,
pollution, erosion, and other things caused by human
activities and the growth of the human population are
changing natural habitats to the point where many
species can no longer inhabit them.
