Living organisms must inhabit areas where they can obtain the necessities of life, which we refer to as habitats. Each species requires a specific habitat that provides the necessary sustenance, shelter, climate and other environmental factors. If the environment of a species is ruined to the point where it can no longer provide what is necessary for it to survive, then this would be considered habitat loss.
When an organism's environment is drastically reduced, its numbers drop and, it can be at risk of extinction. If its numbers continue to shrink, eventually it will cease to exist and biodiversity will be diminished even more. This is occurring presently, and the situation is deteriorating daily. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species states that out of the 35,500 species in danger of disappearing, 40% are amphibians, 34% are conifers, 33% are corals living in coral reefs, 26% are mammals and 14% birds.Living organisms must inhabit areas where they can obtain the necessities of life, which we refer to as habitats.
