Because of the overwhelming demand for produce and other agricultural products, the animals that live is these areas will have to be looking for a new home. While soem might be able to find a new home most will die in the process. Each year the animal moves closer and closer to becoming exinct. They are being impacted by agricultural expansion, logging, over-exploitation and invasive alien species. Southeast Asia is being impacted the most because of and increase in palm oil farms, timber operations, and rice crops.
Just because some of the animals are being effected negativatly, some have shown signs of improvement, the California Condor, and the black footed ferret have all shown signs of growth in population.
To me this is a very horrible thing that is happening. We should not be taking these animals homes away from them just because we want to make more food. There should be certain areas where they are not allowed to use, this way the animals will have places to live instead of them just dying.
Qestions-
1. Who is being affected by the impacts of the expansion of agriculture?
2. Who is benefiting from this?
3. Who was hit the hardest?
4. What are some species that are benefiting or growing in size?
