What is habitat fragmentation?

• Dividing the ecosystem and habitats with man-made structures. These create hazards and limits migration, feeding, and competition.

• Destroying the natural environment and displacing the community of plants and animals native to that environment.

• Polluting or changing the environment such that it reduces the quality of soil, water, air, and life. The health of the community is harmed.

• All of the options are possible.
