Forest fragmentation occurs when a large forested area is broken into smaller patches scattered across a landscape.
These patches are often divided by roads, utility lines, and other manmade structures. Forest fragmentation is also known as habitat fragmentation, and it can have a detrimental impact on the environment.
WHY IS HABITAT FRAGMENTATION BAD?
Forest fragmentation can change how the environment functions.
CAUSES OF FOREST FRAGMENTATION
Forest fragmentation can result from human activities and natural processes. Fragmentation can occur rapidly or after an extended duration.
Biodiversity is the variety of animal and plant life in an ecosystem, habitat, or environment. Forest fragmentation can directly impact biodiversity.
Forest fragmentation can severely damage ecosystems, resulting in the loss of species. Forest fragments are hard to manage when it comes to conservation.
