Natural Disasters

# data[].attributes.body
An animal’s habitat includes what it needs to survive such as air, food, water, shelter (or cover), and space. When elements are missing from a habitat, an animal must adapt, move, or die. A natural disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, flood, drought, forest fire, or tornado can cause a habitat to change.

Man-made Changes

# data[].attributes.body
Human changes to habitats are choices made, some are positive and some are negative. When one species loses its habitat, the result may be a new habitat for other species. An example of this is a meadow which will provide homes for a variety of grassland species. If man comes in and plants a forest, the habitat is no longer suitable for quail but excellent for squirrels.
