Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: have given way to
Deep in the wilds of Venezuela, the natural order is being turned inside out. Miles of verdant forest and savannah have given way to small and scattered islands. Some of these islands are now overrun by bands of voracious howler monkeys, a glut of iguanas and hordes of ravenous ants.

Des kilomètres de forêt verdoyante et de savane ont fait place à de petites îles éparses

est-ce bien le sens de 'give way to' ici ? merci !
