Final answer:

Habitat fragmentation causes disruptions in wildlife populations, exacerbated by human activities and the IPAT equation shows the impact of population, wealth, and technology.


Explanation:

Habitat fragmentation is the process where once large habitats are divided into smaller isolated units, leading to extinctions due to disrupted dispersal, colonization, foraging, and reproduction.

The growing human population exacerbates habitat fragmentation through expanding settlements, agriculture, and infrastructure development, encroaching on natural habitats and fragmenting ecosystems.

The IPAT equation demonstrates how population size, affluence, and technology collectively influence our environmental impact, contributing to habitat loss and fragmentation.
