Secondary Disturbance
. This kind of disturbance is classified as a primary disturbance
The term for this disturbance is "habitat destruction" or "ecosystem degradation". It can result from factors such as deforestation, pollution, urbanization, or natural disasters, leading to a decline in biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Well I would think that wildfires or natural disasters like tornadoes,hurricanes are disturbances.
secondary disturbance
Habitat loss, human disturbance and competition.
Lemurs can be sensitive to habitat disturbance and most species don't survive well in captivity, so depending on what you mean, the answer is probably yes.
A disturbance that harms some organisms but does not significantly impact the overall ecosystem is known as a "sublethal disturbance." This type of disturbance may affect individual species or populations without causing long-term ecological changes or degradation to the habitat as a whole. Examples include localized pollution events or specific predation pressures that impact certain species but allow the ecosystem to maintain its structure and function.
A disturbance that could happen to an alpine meadow on Mt Hood is a wildfire. Wildfires can be caused by lightning strikes or human activities, which can lead to significant damage to the vegetation and soil in the meadow. This disturbance can disrupt the ecosystem, alter plant communities, and impact wildlife habitat.
Poaching by humans. Humans encroaching on the gorilla's habitat (clearing trees to grow food crops).Disturbance by humans, especially should the gorilla's habitat become part of a war zone.
Human disturbance of a community usually results in habitat destruction, fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, pollution, and overexploitation of resources. These disruptions can lead to loss of biodiversity, changes in species composition, and alteration of ecosystem dynamics.
