Directions:
Turn left so the river is still on your left and walk about 300 and there is a post with the way maker on your right.

• Different species live in different habitats and have adapted over time to thrive in that area, however many habitats around the world are under threat.
• Freshwater habitats cover less than 1% of the earth’s surface but provide habitats for over 100,000 species.
• Since the 1970s, 83% of freshwater species populations have declined. This is the fastest rate of all habitat types.
• Habitat loss is one of the main reasons for this decline.
• Land use change is a big cause of habitat loss as fields are being converted into housing estates or woodlands being cut down for roads.
• INNS (invasive non-native species) can also cause habitat loss as they can take over an area and transform the dynamics of the ecosystem.
