All the basic necessities for an animal, like food, water, shelter, and protection is provided by the habitat in which the animal lives-in disturbing the habitat of the animal forces it to move to another place in search of food, water, shelter and protection. The animal, in due course, may get killed by other animals. Destroying the natural will ultimately threaten the existence of animals in that particular ecosystem and may lead to their extinction.
