Question

More habitats for certain animals is a result of clear-cutting. Question 5 options: True False

Answer 1

More habitats for certain animals is a result of clear-cutting is a FALSE statement.

Explanation:

Contrary to the given statement, animals have actually been losing their natural habitats due to the clear-cutting of forests that is happening around the world. Trees of Teakwood, Rosewood, Sandalwood, etc., are being cut at a rapid pace for commercial purposes. On the other hand, trees like Neem, Elder, Silver Birch,etc., are being cut for medicinal purposes. The cutting of these trees has been rapidly culminating in the extinction of forests and of various animal, bird, and plant species existent in the forests around the world.

As the human population is growing day by day, the need for land and other natural resources is intensifying. To satisfy these needs, humans have been relying on forests in various ways. By clearing up forests, humans have been making room for farming and accommodation. This act of human beings has affected the wildlife largely by sizing down their habitats and causing numerous species of plants, birds, and animals to go extinct.

Answer 2

The correct answer is False

Habitat can be defined as the place where a specific species lives and develops. In a very didactic way, we can say that it is the home of an organism, its address. Fish, for example, live in water and that is why we say that their habitat is aquatic. Earthworms, on the other hand, live underground, which is their habitat.

We can divide the habitat into two main types: natural and artificial. Natural habitats are those created by nature itself, without human interference. Artificial habitats are those that are built by man. These environments have the main function of making the living being feel in its true habitat, reproducing and developing normally. A classic example of artificial habitats is zoos.

As already mentioned, the habitat is the place where a species finds the determining factors for its survival, such as the climate, vegetation and its food. If removed from their habitat, species typically die because of the difficulty of settling into a new home.

Take, for example, a Komodo Dragon. This magnificent lizard, considered the largest in the world, is found only on three Pacific islands: Rinca, Flores and Komodo. As he only lives on these islands, they can be considered his natural habitat.

Nowadays we can say that habitat destruction is one of the problems that most drive species to extinction. Usually this destruction occurs as a result of the action of man, which destroys nature to build houses and expand pastures and crops, for example, in addition to polluting and contaminating various areas.
