Human beings place their importances over nature's. If it benefits them even though it is destroying the environment humans will continue to use the damaging products. Humans place themselves on a higher more important level the the environment. We destroy trees to build buildings and water ways to help make living better for us. Humans do not realize the damage they are doing because they are focused on themselves to much.

"For animals, habitat loss, caused by large dams, industrial plantations, highways and the expansion of human settlements, is the major threat to species survival.(Shiva, p.45)"
We have destroyed many forests and other important habitats for our benefits. Many animals have lost places to live and find food because we needed another industrial plant of neighborhood. This is destroying species environments and not letting them thrive on land and continue to live peacefully. We have put highways in the middle of animals habitats which not only disrupts the environment but we kill them with our cars.

"Biodiversity is not just a conservation issue, it is an issue affecting economic survival. (Shiva, p.50)"
The biodiversity is not only about conservation but our economic survival as well. Our economy depends greatly on industries. We are hurting the environment because we need to keep our economy going. We need to find other alternatives to important items we use everyday such as oil to not hurt the environment and keep the economy going.
