Landscape fragmentation poses significant challenges to wildlife populations. It divides habitats into smaller, isolated patches, reducing genetic diversity and making it difficult for animals to find resources, mates, and migrate. This isolation can lead to **population declines**, as species become more vulnerable to local extinctions and cannot adapt to environmental changes effectively. Fragmentation also causes edge effects, exposing species to increased predation and competition. Overall, these disruptions can severely impact ecosystem health and biodiversity, making conservation strategies essential for maintaining wildlife populations.
