Essay Question 1 Explain how changes in habitat can lead to habitat fragmentation. How does this affect the population of animals in that area? Species lose their habitats when those habitats are destroyed outright‚ but habitat loss also occurs when habitats are altered through more subtle processes‚ including fragmentation and other forms of degradation. The sudden and complete elimination of habitat is uncommon at large scales; instead‚ what we usually witness is gradual‚ piecemeal degradation
