Habitat destruction is a process of land use change in which one habitat-type is removed and replaced with another habitat-type. In the process of land-use change, plants and animals which previously used the site are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity. Urban Sprawl is one cause of habitat destruction. Other important causes of habitat destruction include mining, trawling, and agriculture. Habitat destruction is currently ranked as the most important cause of species extinction worldwide.[1] It is a process of environmental change important in evolution and conservation biology. As the name implies, it describes the emergence of discontinuities (fragmentation) in an organism's preferred environment (habitat). Habitat fragmentation can be caused by geological processes that slowly alter the layout of the physical environment or by human activity such as land conversion, which can alter the environment on a much faster time scale. The former is suspected of being one of the major causes of speciation. The latter is causative in extinctions of many species. Image File history File links Merge-arrows. ...

Destruction of forests and hills in the name of development is resulting in the gradual extinction of rare and sometimes even common species of animals in the city and district.
The destruction of habitat is forcing wild animals to stray into the nearby human settlements and prey of domestic animals like cattle and goats and sometimes even attack humans.
After the animals are released into their natural habitat, they should be tracked for at least two seasons to know their survival.
