Habitat connectivity refers to the way different natural areas are linked together, allowing wildlife to move freely between them. This movement is essential for species to find food, mates, and suitable living conditions. When habitats are connected, it helps maintain healthy ecosystems and supports biodiversity. When habitats are fragmented by human activities, such as urban development or agriculture, it can create barriers for animals and plants. These barriers can lead to isolated populations, making it harder for species to survive. Conservation efforts often focus on improving habitat connectivity to ensure that ecosystems remain resilient and diverse, benefiting both wildlife and humans.
