The ecological impact of urbanization on local species diversity is often detrimental. As urban areas expand, natural habitats are destroyed or fragmented, leading to loss of biodiversity. Human activities such as pollution, increased traffic, and habitat disruption can further exacerbate the decline of local species. Urbanization also promotes the introduction of invasive species that outcompete native flora and fauna. However, some urban environments can also support diverse species through well-planned green spaces and conservation efforts. Recognizing and addressing the impacts of urbanization is essential for developing strategies to promote biodiversity within urban landscapes.
