have completely destroyed entire ecosystems and irreversibly altered others. Wildlife species have been both directly and indirectly impacted. Many, in fact, have been severely threatened or even become
extinct as a result of the way that mankind has exerted dominion over the earth. By our very nature it seems that
it is impossible for us to live without adversely impacting our environment to one degree or another. Even primitive man had a definitive impact on his environment. This
impact was much different than that of any other animal. Man, it seems, has the inherent need to change the earth, to develop it. This is not the
case with other animals whose only goal is to simply subsist and propagate their species. As man has evolved, so has the degree
to which we change the environment as a matter of our day to day lives. Our development activities have transitioned from building small shelters and keeping ourselves warm at
the edge of a campfire to bulldozing everything in site and modifying it to suit our own needs without any consideration as to what it might mean to other species
of animals. When we consider habitat disruption at the hands of development, hundreds of examples jump to mind. One of the most
illustrative examples is the habitat disruption that has occurred just in the last couple of hundred years right here in the Americas. When thinking back on the types of
development that has occurred, it is hard not to first think of the impacts of developmental activities characterized by cities, dams, industrial pursuits and the like. Another form of
