### location | environment | habitat:

Fragmentation of habitats
* causes isolation of populations leading to local extinctions.
* serious problem because it can also lead to species extinctions.

Freshwater habitat
* Most freshwater habitats provide homes.
* are found on all the continents of the earth except Antarctica
  - under increasing threat due to invasions of exotic fish

Good habitat
* includes providing natural and agronomically produced foods in variety and abundance.
* provide plentiful fruit, seeds, insects and vegetation for turkeys to consume.

Healthy habitat
* Most healthy habitats use technology.
* have benefits.
* provide for fish and wildlife.

Ideal habitat
* have a profound effect on the migration of large numbers of monarchs.
* include areas
  - rivers
* promote the migration of large numbers of migrating monarchs.
* provides everything an animal requires for life.

Important habitat
* Some important habitats are forests, grasslands, deserts, and marshes.
* include sediments.

### location | environment | habitat:

Loss of habitat
* affects other chameleon species as well, as does collection for the pet trade.
* can lead to species extinction
  - result directly in loss of species
* decreases food availability causing birds to have to work harder to survive.
* factor, as are natural enemies such as raccoons, who feed on turtle eggs.
* huge problem faced by many species of animals
  - threat to the Florida black bear
* is also a danger to rhinos
  - attributed to overgrazing and wildcrafting
  - one reason there are few kiwi today
* is the biggest problem facing most species
  - threat facing wildlife today
  - greatest peril faced by most species on the planet today
  - major reason wildlife is disappearing all over the country
  - most likely cause of the kestrel decline in Connecticut
  - other major threat to the corn crake
* is the primary reason black-footed ferrets remain at the brink of extinction
  - remain near the brink of extinction
  - single greatest threat to any species
* major cause of depleted salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest
  - threat to mosses, lichens, fungi and algae
* means loss of species.
* primary cause of loss of biodiversity.
* serious problem for bats
  - threat to the remaining grizzly bears
+ Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros and humans: Odd-toed ungulates
  * Only the White Rhinoceros is not in critical danger of becoming extinct. They are protected, but hunted mainly for their horns. Loss of habitat is also a danger to rhinos. Governments have made logging their habitat and poaching illegal.

Native habitat
* Most native habitats contain water.
* include areas.

Natural habitat
* All natural habitats have important biological, social, economic, and existence value.
* Most natural habitats have vegetation
  - use technology
* Some natural habitats have dramatic fluctuations
  - temperature fluctuations
* include environments
  - savanna
* is critical to their survival.

Optimal habitat
* Some optimal habitats have organic matter.
* are open forests and woodlands with sources of water over which to feed.
  - grassy areas
  - open grassy areas
  - shrubs

Prefer habitat
* consist of coastal water
  - fields
  - shelter areas
* provide adequate food

Riparian habitat
* are sites for many migratory and non-migratory wildlife species.
* is critical to the existence of numerous wildlife species
  - very important to birds
* occurs alongside the largest rivers and smallest streams.
* perform different, interrelated functions.

Suitable habitat
* contain elements.
* include nest trees
* is the fundamental requirement of all wildlife.
* offer adequate food

Terrestrial habitat
* Some terrestrial habitats range from freshwater ponds
* includes forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains and polar regions.

Various habitat
* Most various habitats have vegetation
  - woody vegetation
* support many kinds of birds.
