*Within Europe natural habitats are continuing to deteriorate and an
increasing number of wild species are seriously threatened. Much of this is as a result of devolpment and agriculture intensification.

Habitat loss is the greatest threat to the natural world. We are taking over habitat at an alarming rate to provide ourselves with homes and agriculture as well as resources from forests, and other natural areas.

All habitat-types are affected by human activity to different extents. Around half of the forests that once covered the Earth are now gone. Although forests can recover, and even be harvested sustain ably, the rate of loss is 10 times higher than the rate of regrowth. Around 60% of Europe's wetlands are damaged even though they are often essential for providing clean drinking water.

What Can We Do?

Become more sensitive to where we go about our business as well as how. Everyone needs space and that includes the other creatures of this planet. Restoring damaged habitats is also an important step. Allow forests to regrow, clean up rivers, lakes and seas, and help to protect what still remains.
