The relationship between urbanization and habitat loss is critical, as expanding cities often encroach on natural environments. Urban sprawl leads to the destruction of forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems, reducing habitats for numerous species and contributing to biodiversity loss. This process can fragment habitats, isolating populations and limiting genetic diversity. Urban development often prioritizes human needs, causing ecological imbalance and pollution. Sustainable urban planning seeks to integrate green spaces and protect ecosystems, recognizing that healthy habitats are essential for both community well-being and ecological integrity.
