Other important causes of habitat destruction include mining‚ logging‚ trawling and urban sprawl. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animal species are becoming extinct aswell‚ because if their habitat is destroyed they have nowhere to live and eventually there species runs out.

This slow change in the land and habitat is called ecological succession. Animals‚ plants‚ and weather are some factors that cause this type of change in an ecosystem. Ecological succession begins with a pioneer community. In many cases lichens are the "pioneers." Lichens break down rocks‚ making soil‚ so that plants can
