Yes and no. Most species recover from flood and fire. Flood and fire are nature's way of controlling species population, and also of regenerating growth in the forests. However, some species cannot recover from a combination of natural disasters AND human involvement. One of the things that causes species to be endangered is human encroachment. Encroachment means human activities that have negative effects on the make up of the forest zones. Sometimes forest fire and flood are caused by human activities, and these can have negative effects on the species of the forest. Other "encroachment" activities that endanger animals are when human beings go to the forest for fetching woods, cutting lumber, picking off the bark and leaves for local medicine; they hunt in the forest, dig holes, alter the ecological settings of the forest floor, etc. All these activities put together lead to forest fire and flood thereby burning and washing away all the necessary ingredients needed by these species to survive, causing habitat loss and so on.
