There are a few issues with pushing more and more animals out of their habitat so that humans can gain resources. One issue is habitat fragmentation. This means that small habitats can only support small populations of animals, making the animals more vulnerable to extinction. It is unlikely that these areas will be recolonised. At what point will this effect ecosystems and man? Depending on the degree of fragmentation and the species involved, maybe not much or maybe quite a bit. You have to decide if this is something that we should be concerned about.

The animals will continue to become extinct as their territories are invaded. As human population continues to explode, eventually most large animals will have to give us their space and have none left for themselves.
