Habitat loss content in Environmental Impact Today, loss of habitat is probably the main reason for the high rate of species extinction rate globally. Since the early part of the 20th century CABI has comprehensively documented habitat loss and our database includes many bibliographic records to scientific literature published on habitat loss such as extensive deforestation, desertification and other habitat damage such as loss of peatlands.

Database searches

To maximise your searching potential, several suggested searches can be found on the Habitat Loss Example Database Searches page. These will help you construct your own searches.

E-books

The entire CABI environmental e-books segment is available in Environmental Impact along with relevant chapters of other CABI E-books. These are some examples of titles dealing with habitat loss or damage.
