Threatened Or Endangered Habitats
Threatened Or Endangered Habitats : Ecosystems that are: (a) restricted in their distribution over a natural landscape (e.g., freshwater wetlands within certain biogeoclimatic areas) or are restricted to a specific geographic area or a particular type of local environment; or (b) were previously widespread or common, but now occur over a much smaller area due to extensive disturbance or complete destruction by such practices as intensive harvesting or grazing by introduced species, hydro projects, dyking, and agricultural conversion
