Answer the question below based on the paragraph:

i just went to a city planning meeting and learned that the city plans to build a hotel in the very spot i have discovered the new species! the hotel contractors also plan to remove the majority of the flowering plants and introduce a new fern to minimize allergies of guests!

how might the building of the hotel affect the population of the new species?

The hotel building process will result in population decline of the new species.

Explanation:

Removing vegetation in the area would diminish the habitat of the new species and/ or reduce the food sources for the new species. The new species would thus be unable to survive without a living environment in which they could feed on or hide from predators, therefore resulting in the inevitable decline in the new species population.
