Habitat and survival

It's loss of the environment
That induces extinction
A road bisects a forest
A fences demarcates a marsh
Causes a power law
Of devastation. Exponent increase
In species loss. It takes a continent
For elephants to flourish.

There's an elephant in the corner
I don't fancy its chances in the space
With an incontinent horse
Incontinent bat
Incontinent bull
The corner is not a continent
It cannot support this fauna
A shrinking viable environment
This is an epistemic emergency
Warning that
The elephant in the corner
Is loosing its habitat.
