If a species' limited habitat is destroyed by land development, the species may be forced to move to a new location, adapt to a new environment, or face extinction. The destruction of their habitat can disrupt their food chain, mating patterns, and other important factors that contribute to their survival. As a result, the species may struggle to find enough food, shelter, or other resources to survive. In some cases, the species may be able to adapt to their new environment, but in other cases, they may not be able to survive the changes.
