A leading driver of this crash is land mismanagement: as humans, we've spent far too long removing the native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants our local wildlife needs and replacing them with non-native or even invasive species which generally support fewer species than plants native to a given area, and can devastate otherwise thriving ecosystems.
