fragmentation. Nearly every human activity can alter or destroy habitat. Farming replaces diverse natural communities with simplified ones of only a few plants species (certain crops). Grazing modifies the structure and species composition of grasslands. Either type of agriculture can lead to desertification. Clearing forests removes the food‚ shelter‚ and other resources that forest dwelling organisms need to survive. Farming‚ logging‚ and road building‚ and other type of human land use and development

destroys the nature. These are only few of the activities that contribute to the devastation of nature. Overgrazing and groundwater pumping are some of the activities that damage the land. Overgrazing is one cause of soil erosion‚ in which it turns grassland into desert where soil is eroded and becomes harder for plants and trees to grow in that area which will affect the lives living there. Soil erosion is a natural process but it becomes a problem when human activity causes it to occur much faster
