Most environmental experts believe that habitat destruction is the leading environmental problem we currently face. Today, the leading cause of the destruction of natural habitats is human activity. As the human population grows, so does the need for more goods and natural resources. Increased deforestation is caused by the expansion of agricultural land needed to grow crops, the harvesting of timber as building materials, the need for wood as a source of fuel, and clear-cutting land for grazing animals (i.e., cattle). One report showed that over 40% of the world's land was being used for farming.
