Quite a few wild species have adapted to the habitats that we've created along the way, and they manage — somehow — to co-exist alongside us. As an example, according to a study published today in the journal, Nature, evolution of a large, isolated checkerspot butterfly population in Nevada successfully adapted the insects to cattle-grazing. However, this adaptation contained a hidden risk:
when we humans abruptly changed our land use practices and removed our cattle, the butterflies suffered local extinction.https://www.jsg.utexas.edu/news/2018/10/the-evolutionary-trap-that-wiped-out-thousands-of-butterflies/
Grazing livestock is good for biodiversity.

Reminding me, that eco-nuts do not consider:
From the perspective of air, a “farm of windmills” appears, and is dealt with, as a ridge - affecting where air “decides” to go . . . and air takes light creatures, and pollen, and seeds with it.

Buffalo essentially did the same thing when they roamed the prairies for thousands of years.
