Species ExtinctionUrban Sprawl
Species extinction due to urban sprawl refers to the phenomenon where the rapid expansion of urban areas leads to the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats, resulting in the decline and eventual disappearance of various plant and animal species. As cities and suburbs continue to grow and encroach upon wild lands, species are forced to compete for resources, adapt to new environments, or face extinction. Urban sprawl contributes to habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and other factors that threaten the survival of vulnerable species.
