Land reclamation significantly impacts natural habitats by altering ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. This process often involves converting wetlands, marshes, or other natural areas into agricultural or urban land, leading to habitat loss for numerous species. Additionally, land reclamation can disrupt local hydrology and increase pollution runoff, affecting water quality and ecosystem health. The loss of these ecosystems can result in diminished ecosystem services, such as flood control and carbon sequestration, emphasizing the need for careful planning and management to balance development and conservation.
