Agriculture Will Threaten Habitat for 90 Percent of Animal Species by 2050. Scientists estimate that if current food production methods continue, the world will likely need between 770,000 to 3.9 million square miles of new agricultural land by 2050 to feed the planet's growing, wealthier population. Such agricultural expansion could …

Strip mining destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats at the site of the mine when trees, plants, and topsoil are cleared from the mining area. This in turn leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. When rain washes the loosened top soil into streams, sediments pollute waterways. This can hurt fish and smother plant ...
