- Practices that have directly / indirectly removed habitats & reduced species diversity
- Removal of hedgerows / woodlands
- Monocultures
- Filling in ponds / draining marshes
- Over-grazing of land preventing regeneration of woodland
- Use of pesticides / inorganic fertilisers - reducing SD & polluting watercourses
- Escape of farm waste into water courses > killing fish / other organisms
- Lack of crop rotation > poor soil structure
