Urbanization significantly impacts the environment, leading to habitat loss and water contamination. Deforestation displaces species, affecting the food chain and causing some species to become endangered or extinct. Water contamination arises from chemical runoff and pollution, affecting both human and animal drinking water. Efforts to restore ecosystems include planting native species and introducing urban wildlife. Individuals can reduce urbanization's effects by minimizing waste, composting, and participating in community gardens.
