On a field study in the tropics, you discover a new species of millipede! After careful work to determine the size and range of the population, you conclude that the species has a small number of individuals spread across a large but fragmented range. The habitat is currently sufficient to support a steady population, but if humans encroach further as predicted, rapid habitat loss could put the species in danger. When you write up your report on the millipede species, how should you describe its status?

Habitat is a place where animals live and sustain their lives. In habitat what role they play is known as ecological niche. Now a day with rapid urbanization, deforestation animals are steadily losing their habitats at a large extent and roaming around in search of a new home.

For that reason they are becoming endangered and gradually extinct. In search of a shelter they are rushing towards city from forest and entering into the public locality in search of food. When people encroach into their shelters their habitats become fragmented means not consolidated.
