The primary consequences of habitat destruction include significant loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystem services, and increased vulnerability of species to extinction. Habitat destruction can lead to fragmentation, where populations become isolated and less genetically diverse, impacting their ability to adapt. Additionally, it affects human livelihoods, as many people rely on ecosystems for resources and ecosystem functions. Displaced species may also result in invasive species, further complicating ecological interactions and altering food webs.
