The ecological impact of urban sprawl on wildlife populations is significant, as it leads to habitat fragmentation and increased human-wildlife conflict. As cities expand, natural habitats are often destroyed or altered, creating barriers that isolate species and reduce genetic diversity. Urban areas can also introduce stressors such as pollution and noise, further affecting wildlife health and behavior. This disruption can lead to population declines and even extinction for sensitive species. Managing urban growth through planning and preserving natural spaces is essential to mitigate these impacts and protect biodiversity.
