Habitat Fragmentation: Causes Consequences and Conservation Strategies

Abstract

Habitat fragmentation is a major ecological process in which large, continuous habitats are divided into smaller, isolated patches due to natural or human activities. This phenomenon significantly affects biodiversity, species survival, and ecosystem functioning. The article explores the causes of habitat fragmentation, its impact on species populations, ecological processes, and genetic diversity. It also examines the role of landscape connectivity and conservation strategies in mitigating fragmentation effects. Understanding habitat fragmentation is essential for effective biodiversity conservation and sustainable land-use planning in a rapidly changing world.
