About this listen

Explore the hidden dangers of habitat fragmentation and its profound impact on life on Earth. In this podcast, we'll break down the science behind fragmentation, from island biogeography theory to edge effects, and uncover how it shrinks habitats and isolates populations. We'll also dive into the serious genetic consequences like genetic drift and inbreeding depression that threaten species' survival. Finally, we'll look at the solutions, including the design of habitat corridors and wildlife crossings, and the critical role of smart land use planning in connecting our world.
