what is habitat fragmentation, geographical isolation and wildlife corridor in simple consice sentences.

1 answer

- Habitat fragmentation: the process by which large, continuous natural habitats are divided into smaller, isolated patches, often due to human activities like urban development or agriculture.
- Geographical isolation: the separation of populations of the same species by physical barriers such as mountains, rivers, or oceans, leading to genetic divergence and the formation of new species.
- Wildlife corridor: a strip of natural habitat that connects fragmented habitats, allowing for the movement of animals between isolated areas and helping to maintain genetic diversity within populations.
