Habitat fragmentation is usually a reason for species becoming endangered or threatened. The prevalence of viable habitat is critical to the survival of any species, and in various circumstances, the fragmentation of any remaining habitat can result in difficult choices for conservation biologists.

The fragmentation can result in the extinction of species due to the following factors:

1. Species can dwindle to extinction due to catastrophes.

2. Species can dwindle to extinction due to inbreeding.

3. Species can dwindle to extinction due to loss of genetic variation.
