Interestingly, I foresee the Gabbits continuing to thrive, though at a vulnerable/near threatened level.
Unless humans decide their Gabbiar is a delicacy like the Glukkons did, and damn the Mongo River (or any other Gabbit breeding rivers), similar to what has happened to the Sturgeon.

Would humans really be as askewed as either natives or industrialists, or form their own collective opinion that's more inbetween, like our current ideals. Perhaps they'd try to convince the Glukkons and other industrial races to create laws for 'sentient rights' (covering all sentient species, as opposed to only 'human rights', 'Mudokon rights' or the like), but also try to be friendly with them, preferring them as an ally to an enemy. Native Mudokons and Grubbs may begin seeing education and other resources from humans, if they feel they require them. Various species would become protected under human law, again trying to be friendly with the industrialists. The vykkers, separate from most industrialists, could end up being persecuted if they don't comply or pay out enough moolah. If all Oddworld industrialism is similar to that of Glukkons (since they do not appear to be at the top of things), humans may be possessing superior technology and wealth, particularly in the weapons department, and would have an obvious advantage in any way, hence why eradication of the other species is a possiblity.
