Answer to Question 1

Public risk perception is driven by emotion and people's concern about particular hazards. Sometimes the emotion is well founded and sometimes not. Scientific risk assessment is immune the such emotional bias because science requires data to support conclusions.

Answer to Question 2

Habitat change in the form of conversion, fragmentation, and intrusion can lead to the harm of species because of lack of land for native species to live on. Most habitat changes lead to the harm of a species.
