Which is Not an Example of Habitat Loss

Question

Which is not an example of habitat loss?
A) swamp drainage
B) deforestation
C) strip mining
D) overharvesting
E) river channelization

Accepted Answer

Overharvesting refers to the excessive collection or removal of species from their natural environment, which can lead to population decline or extinction, but it does not directly result in the loss of habitat. Habitat loss involves the destruction or alteration of the physical environment where species live, such as through swamp drainage, deforestation, strip mining, or river channelization, which directly removes or significantly alters the habitat itself.
