The main threats to landscape connectivity include habitat fragmentation, urbanization and infrastructure development, agricultural expansion, deforestation, and climate change. These factors can disrupt the natural corridors and pathways that allow for the movement of species between different habitats, leading to isolation and reduced genetic diversity. Additionally, pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation of resources can further degrade landscape connectivity and hinder the ability of species to migrate and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
