Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, can cause habitat loss, but they are not a major cause of habitat fragmentation.

Habitat fragmentation is the process by which large, continuous habitats are broken up into smaller, isolated patches.

Agriculture, forestry, and mining are all major causes of habitat fragmentation.

Habitat fragmentation reduces biodiversity by isolating populations, reducing genetic diversity, and increasing the risk of extinction.

Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic diversity by isolating populations.

Habitat connectivity is the process by which small, isolated patches of habitat are connected.

Fragmenting large habitats into smaller ones is a major cause of habitat fragmentation, not a strategy for reducing it.

Habitat loss is the process by which natural habitats are converted to other uses, such as agriculture or development.

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, can cause habitat loss, but they are not a major cause of habitat loss.

Habitat degradation is the process by which natural habitats are degraded, but not completely destroyed.

Habitat degradation reduces genetic diversity by isolating populations.

Habitat restoration is the process by which degraded habitats are restored to their natural state.

Fragmenting large habitats into smaller ones is a major cause of habitat fragmentation, not a strategy for reducing it.

Habitat loss is the process by which natural habitats are converted to other uses, such as agriculture or development.

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, can cause habitat loss, but they are not a major cause of habitat loss.
