    intensive livestock production


    when the livestock is not taking too much from the environment, nor
    causing any damage to it it is called intensive livestock production.
    livestock is kept outside and graze on grass or are provide with
    vegetables by humans
    usually done in developed countries where they don't have the area
    to keep large number of cattle.
    the farmers tend to use high energy foods for the livestock so that
    they produce more milk, wool, meat, etc.
    these animals are often given medications to be disease free and
    sometimes kept in places with temperature control

    advantages
    provides more food for people cheaper
    less people would go hungry
    takes up less land providing
    more space for other species

    disadvantages
    welfare issues for the livestock as they struggle in crowded conditions
    disease can spread easily
    waste pollute land and seas nearby
    the food for the cattle is something we can eat so it becomes wasteful
    lots of energy is used for the travel, temperature of buildings.
    large amounts of water is needed, it reduces amount of water for
    plants and animals nearby

    habitat destruction
    Each species have adapted a habitat in which they thrive in. Humans
    destroy these habitats which make it harder for species to survive.
    there are many causes to this, such as:
    1. cutting down native vegetation for farming, livestock, building houses , factories or
    roads
    2. to mine for natural resources, such as metal ores, gravel, fossil fuels. The mines
    destroy the habitat and the toxic run-off can enter rivers or soil in the area
    3. pollutants are added to water and land which can kill the plants that live there

    habitats are also destroyed when key species are


    removed like :
    collecting live corals reefs damages their whole
    habitat, also
    endangering other species of animals depending on
    them. corals have
    photosynthetic algae inside their bodies which are at
    the star of all food
    chain in the reefs hence destroying the whole food web.
