Habitat destruction is the single greatest threat to species around the globe. Humans have altered, degraded, and destroyed habitat in many different ways. Logging around the world has destroyed forests that are habitat to many species.

Agriculture has also resulted in habitat destruction. Mining has destroyed habitat because the landscape often must be altered in order to access the minerals. Finally, water development, especially in arid regions, has fundamentally altered habitat for many species.

Here's a list of endangered species.
