Problem
As global meat production continues to rise, more and more of Earth’s land will be converted to agricultural land. As a result, the negative impacts of land use on wild species and their habitats will also increase.
In a recent study, a group of scientists looked at how an increase in agricultural land from 2010 to 2050 would affect different species. The study examined nearly
amphibian, bird, and mammal species. For each species, the scientists predicted if it would gain, lose, or have no change in habitat due to new agricultural land. Their results are given in the table below.
Change in habitat by 2050 Number of species
Habitat gain
Habitat loss
No change
Total
Approximately what percent of the species are predicted to lose habitat by 2050?
Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.
