IGCSE Biology 0610 - 33 Paper 3 Theory (Core)

The document discusses habitat destruction and its effects. Fig. 4.1 shows an area where trees have been cut down, representing deforestation as a type of habitat destruction. Habitat destruction can lead to loss of shelter and food for animals, fewer places for species to live, and loss of biodiversity. Other human activities that cause habitat destruction include agriculture, urbanization, and infrastructure development. Endangered species can be conserved by protecting their habitats, controlling invasive species and diseases, managing small populations, and reintroducing species. The document also discusses various types of pollution such as methane in air, herbicides killing plants, and increased aquatic plants from water pollution.
