#Fragmentation

Ecosystem fragmentation is the artistic practice of humans slicing forests and wetlands into jigsaw-like pieces. Each time a road, dike, or field draws a line, countless creatures are forced into commuting between stepping-stone habitats. Experts call it a "corridor implementation," adding a pretty term to soothe their egos. In reality, one side of the divided forest remains a little green oasis visible from the conference room window, while the other echoes only with the cries of wildlife. In short, nature is laughably powerless compared to traffic signs.
