I'm no biological expert, but when human emotions get involved the sustainable balance of nature usually gets changed for the worse.
The top predator mammals regulate the other mammals and the sustenance chain:
-The mammals regulate the insects.
-The insects regulate the vegetation.
-The change in vegetation can turn an area into a plush oasis spreading bioculture rapidly every direction, or a desert.
-Vegetation controls all.
Raccoons and rats and feral cats are to primary blame for animal diversity loss.
Add in escaped snakes, fish, migrating upstream crustations, poison toads and it gets complicated.
