Urban sprawl is directly related to wildlife habitat loss, as expanding cities encroach on natural areas, leading to habitat fragmentation and destruction. As urban areas grow, they often replace forests, wetlands, and grasslands with buildings and infrastructure, resulting in diminished biodiversity. This loss can disrupt ecological processes, isolate animal populations, and impede species movement. Effective land use and urban planning strategies are needed to mitigate these impacts, promoting sustainable development that incorporates wildlife conservation. Thus, addressing urban sprawl is vital to preserving natural habitats and the species that depend on them.
