Landscape Fragmentation

Landscape fragmentation refers to the breaking up of large, continuous natural areas into smaller, isolated fragments, often due to human activities like urban development, agriculture, or road construction. This division can harm wildlife habitats, making it difficult for animals and plants to thrive, find food, or reproduce, as they become cut off from each other. Fragmentation can also disrupt ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, and affect environmental processes. Maintaining connected landscapes is essential for supporting healthy ecosystems and allowing species to migrate and adapt to changes.
