The common consequence of habitat fragmentation is the isolation of wildlife populations. As larger habitats are divided into smaller patches due to human activities like urbanization and agriculture, animal and plant species may struggle to find resources and mates. This isolation can lead to reduced genetic diversity, making populations more vulnerable to extinction. Fragmentation can also disrupt migration patterns, impede resource access, and expose species to increased predation and competition. Overall, habitat fragmentation poses significant challenges to biodiversity and ecosystem health.
