  Intersting question – while the majority of species will suffer massively, there are always a few opportunistic species that take advantage of these kinds of events and manage to thrive as a result!
  
  As regards finding new habitats – that’s hard to say, it’s not as if they can all migrate en masse to a new environment, what is more likley is they would attempt to continue living in this area, which is why so many will die.

  The problem is the habitat changes too quickly due to us chopping the trees down for them to evolve fast enough to keep up so it is not likely many, if any, would survive and there would be no suitable habitat to move to
