Two ways a habitat can change

Habitats can change in two main ways. Both can affect whether living things survive.

Natural changes

Caused by nature itself:

drought (no rain)
bushfire
flood
seasons changing

Human activities

Caused by people:

clearing land
pollution
introducing new species
building cities

Example: clearing bushland removes the hollow trees possums nest in → fewer nesting sites → possum numbers fall.
