Habitat loss refers to the destruction of any natural wild ecosystems, such as forest.
This causes extinctions and carbon emissions.
Most habitat loss is caused by agriculture.
- How much CO2 is released for every km^2 of deforestation?
- How much CO2 is released for every km^2 of destroyed grasslands?
- Make a world map of all natural habitats recently destroyed
- Could be some sort of "diff" between land-use maps from two different years, perhaps a decade apart
