The impact of urban sprawl on natural habitats is significant, leading to habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity. Expanding cities encroach upon wildlife areas, diminishing ecosystems that support various species. This development often results in pollution, altered water runoff patterns, and increased human-wildlife conflicts. Furthermore, urban sprawl can disrupt migration patterns and genetic diversity among species. To mitigate these effects, urban planners can emphasize sustainable development practices and preserve green spaces, promoting a balance between urban growth and ecological integrity.
