Historically, when societies unravel, the first thing to disappear is fauna/wildlife.
I'm not arguing with you when I ask this, but what events in history have shown this?
It wasn't an unraveling but in the late 1800's Americans were moving west. There were no hunting limits and market hunting was legal. Wildlife took a big hit. Whitetails were on the edge of extinction and the passenger pigeon did go extinct. Goose and duck numbers plummeted from market hunting.
