Okay, say a certain bacteria died in a small creek. not too much loss, right? Wrong. You might not think so, but that bacteria is very important. It's what is called a keystone species. If that bacteria died out, the little bugs that feed on that bacteria wouldn't be able to get the food they need and would die out. Then, the little fish that feed on those little bugs wouldn't have enough food. As a result, the little fish would die out as well. Then, the population of birds that fed on that little fish would deplete, or go down. The birds would then migrate to another area and eat the fish there. The problem with that, though is that it would be competition for the other birds already living in the area, and their population would also deplete, until, eventually, there would be no more birds like that left. Then we humans who might hunt that certain bird as food, would be out of dinner. That's why humans should care about wildlife and habitat loss.
