Yes, this is called habitat loss. And the current obsession with climate change is to some extent reducing the extent to which humans are paying attention to habitat loss. Caring about the environment is not primarily about climate change and avoiding human suffering and economic damage: caring for the environment is primarily about preserving the remaining natural habitat that the other organisms with which we share the planet depend on for their survival. One should care about climate change because it threatens habitat preservation.
