History of Habitat Destruction

Habitat destruction has been occuring for a very long time, and has gradually increased. It made a huge increase in the late 1900's and is on a rapid pace up. Many things such as new buildings or highways have caused this steady increase. Back in the mid 1700's over population of certain species caused habitat destruction. These species became to powerful and overtook land that wasn't theirs.
