What usually happens as more range land is converted to urban developments?

As more rangeland is converted to urban developments, there is typically a loss of natural habitats and biodiversity, as well as disruption to local ecosystems. This conversion can lead to increased soil erosion, changes in water drainage patterns, and a decline in air and water quality. Additionally, urbanization often results in higher demand for resources, such as water and energy, further straining the environment. Communities may also face increased traffic, congestion, and socio-economic challenges as they adapt to the changes.
