I'd wager that Agriculture has eliminated more natural habitats than any population sprawl. I'm reminded of this every time I drive out of Colorado and into Kansas.
From the 1920s to the 1970s, forests on the Eastern seaboard had actually been rebounding due to less intense agricultural use:

But then since the 1970s they have begun shrinking again as suburban sprawl took over.
