How is habitat destruction affecting the environment?

Answer:
Wow that's a good question, I think that habitat is affecting the environment because people are cutting down the rainforest's, and all the trees to put up buildings and factories. But there is so much more to it, the animals are being run off, and the medicines we could discover from the forest. But we are destroying it. There could very well be a cure for cancer that we don't know about yet locked away in a plant somewhere out in the jungle.
