Ecologists have found that this practice leads to imbalance and disruption of species survival. As local populations of wildlife are displaced, isolation from the natural world occurs. Preservation or simulation of natural environments can help maintain a sense of stewardship for the land and it's wildlife. The living spaces that provide animals with food, water, cover and shelter could be cultivated on a human level. To begin cultivation on an area conducive to wildlife habitation, the conditions necessary for their survival should be improved.
All animals get their energy for survival from plants or other animals.
Fresh water is essential for all wildlife and is often the factor most limiting their presence on small properties. In conventional developments, many small natural drainage channels are obliterated or rerouted to enclosed storm sewers, requiring the provision of additional water. Animals dependent on springs, small streams, and tributaries suffer significant habitat losses if water is not provided. Animals require the protective cover or shelter of plants for breeding, nesting, hiding, sleeping, feeding and traveling. The discontinuity of habitats can be a limiting factor for many species, and also a problem for those wishing to attract wildlife to the surrounding area.
