Destruction Of Natural Habitats
endangered list. Trash is the main cause of choking, animals think plastic bags are food.
Chemicals pollute the water and make it difficult for marine life to breathe. When one
animal is exposed to toxic waste it passes down the food chain affecting the entire
population of marine life. Waste is being put into their habitat by ships, untreated
sewage, and military ammunitions.
The government has set laws and regulations to help preserve habitats and
prevent further pollution, but they fail to enforce these rules. Industries do not follow
most of the regulations and continue dumping illegally. For example, farming practices
have included polluting waterways with fecal matter for several decades.
