The scheme uses Minecraft to allow children to rebuild and reimagine their hometowns. [2] The program began in Sweden, where Minecraft was first created, but has since expanded to many other countries. [3] Mojang acts as the primary financial sponsor for the program. [4] The project is part of the UN Habitat's Sustainable Urban Development ...
Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease in biodiversity and species numbers .

Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease in biodiversity and species numbers .
[9] [10] [11] Habitat loss is a leading cause of species extinctions [11] and ecosystem service decline. [12] Two methods have been identified to slow the rate of species extinction and ecosystem service decline: conservation of quality habitat and restoration of degraded habitat. The number and size of ecological restoration projects have ...
Habitat-based approach. An alternative method to developing a HCP for target species of concern is to develop a HCP for a particular habitat type. Under this approach, a specific habitat type found within the HCP area is selected as the focus of the HCP by the permittee and USFWS/NMFS based on the species known to use the habitat.
Habitat loss and destruction can occur both naturally and through anthropogenic causes. Events leading to natural habitat loss include climate change, catastrophic events such as volcanic explosions and through the interactions of invasive and non-invasive species. Natural climate change, events have previously been the cause of many widespread ...
Habitat loss, which can occur through the process of habitat fragmentation, is considered to be the greatest threat to species. [14] But, the effect of the configuration of habitat patches within the landscape, independent of the effect of the amount of habitat within the landscape (referred to as fragmentation per se [ 5 ] ), has been ...
