Habitat fragmentation is the loss and subdivision of portion of a given habitat and the corresponding increase in other habitats in the landscape. It is one of the most important contributors to the loss of biological diversity in temperate regions. Because of fragmentation, large populations are being broken into local populations, and this can lead to extinction if the local populations cannot interact.  7, record 5, English, - biodiversity%20loss

La pérdida de biodiversidad es probablemente uno de los problemas científicos más importantes que tenemos que abordar en el Siglo XI. Bosques cortados y reducidos a su mínima extensión, transformaciones de tierras, cambios drásticos de usos del suelo, contaminación de suelos y aguas, sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, todo ello está llevando a la más grave extinción de biodiversidad que el hombre haya podido conocer a lo largo de su historia. Esta pérdida no sólo afecta a la vida silvestre(fauna y flora) sino a la diversidad genética cuyo ejemplo más cercano podemos encontrarlo en la desaparición de razas y variedades domésticas.  3, record 5, Spanish, - p%C3%A9rdida%20de%20biodiversidad
