Forest Fragmentation and its Role in the Decline of Endangered Species

Abstract

Badea Baldrian*

Forest fragmentation is a significant ecological issue characterized by the division of large forested areas into smaller, isolated patches. This process has far-reaching impacts on biodiversity, often leading to the decline and extinction of various species. This article explores the relationship between forest fragmentation and the decline of endangered species. It discusses the key drivers of fragmentation, such as deforestation, urban expansion, and infrastructure development. It also examines how fragmentation affects animal populations by disrupting migration patterns, reducing genetic diversity, and limiting access to resources. Through case studies and scientific evidence, we highlight the critical need for conservation strategies to restore forest connectivity and protect endangered species from further decline.
