Answer:

The increasing human population has led to the need of expanding human habitats over territories which are exclusively for animals and other living organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The increasing human population has led to the need of expanding human habitats over territories which are exclusively meant for animals and other living organisms. Every single day humans are encroaching forests, jungles, wilderness areas, etc., for commercial and other selfish purposes without thinking about other living organisms.

We should stop this activity of encroaching immediately for the sake of other living organisms as well for the mankind. Without animals, plants or forests, humans won't survive on this planet for long. Every single organism on this earth has a role to play and humans must respect their habitats.

Today, the Amazon forest in South America has drastically shrunk by about 289,000 square miles since 1978. Imagine just within a span of 50 years, we have lost so much of wilderness area due to urbanization and commercialization. If this activity keeps on going, humans would lose the whole of the Amazon forest in another 50 years.

Therefore, it is important that humans must stop our selfish activities of taking over territories not meant for us. This can be stopped by strict governmental policies, environmental education and population control.
