biodiversity habitat fragmentation conservation strategies community engagement ecosystem services geospatial technologies

The increasing fragmentation of natural habitats poses a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, particularly for endangered species. This study investigates integrated conservation strategies in fragmented habitats across Africa and Oceania. The primary objective is to assess the ecological and socio-economic impacts of habitat fragmentation and propose viable conservation methodologies. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining field surveys, GIS mapping, and community interviews, to gather data on biodiversity loss and ecosystem services disruption. Findings indicate that while habitat fragmentation results in species decline, community-based conservation initiatives, coupled with advanced geospatial technologies, can mitigate negative impacts and promote biodiversity resilience. Additionally, involving local communities in conservation efforts fosters sustainable management practices and enhances ecological awareness. The study concludes that a multi-faceted conservation strategy, incorporating both scientific and local knowledge, is essential for effective biodiversity preservation in fragmented landscapes. It calls for policy-makers to integrate these strategies into national and regional conservation frameworks, emphasizing the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration and community engagement to ensure long-term ecological sustainability.
