Habitat loss—due to destruction‚ fragmentation or degradation of habitat—is the primary threat to the survival of wildlife in the United States.

Every day there are fewer places left that wildlife can call home. There are three major kinds of habitat

melting‚ rise of the sea level and animal extinction. One of the effects of global warming is disappearing of many animal species. A certain number of all species are being affected physiologically by global warming. There is evidence that some species are physiologically vulnerable to temperature spikes. For example‚ the green ringtail possum‚ endemic specie of north Queensland’s tropical rainforests in Australia‚ cannot control its body temperature when the ambient temperature rises above 86º
