Answer»

Answer:

Human alteration and destruction of habitat causes significant IMPACTS on owls. Loss of habitat is the primary factor in the decline of raptor populations throughout the world. In addition to agriculture, logging, urbanization, recreation, energy and mineral development are altering owl habitats throughout the United States. In the United States, "98% of the tall-grass prairies have been plowed, half of the wetlands drained, 90-95% of old-growth forests cut, and overall forest COVER REDUCED by 33% (Miller 1994)." Many species of owls have already begun to feel the tightening grip of altered habitats.

The most well known habitat alteration that effects owls is logging. The IMPACT of logging on each species varies. The method of harvesting trees can determine that impact.
