The ecological impact of urban sprawl on natural habitats is significant, as it leads to habitat loss, fragmentation, and increased pollution. Urban development often encroaches on wildlife habitats, resulting in displacement of species and a decrease in biodiversity. The creation of impervious surfaces alters water runoff patterns, affecting local ecosystems and water quality. Additionally, urban areas can introduce invasive species and increase human-wildlife interactions. Addressing urban sprawl through sustainable planning is essential for preserving natural habitats and species.
