help me summaries what this means

The habitat of the vernal pool fairy shrimp is imperiled by urban, commercial, and industrial development, the conversion of land from natural grassland into agricultural use, and activities to manage water supply and control flooding. Habitat loss is caused by destruction through changes in land-use, infilling, grading, and other activities, and by the modification of the watershed of the vernal pools. Overall, the most significant threats are associated with rapid urbanization and agricultural conversion. These human influences have already resulted in the loss of most of the original aquatic habitat of the vernal pool fairy shrimp. Moreover, 28 of the 32 known populations of the vernal pool fairy shrimp are considered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be under threat.
