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
