Organisms need their specific habitat for survival, and fragmentation is a leading threat to many terrestrial animals."

The edges of habitats are important parts of the landscape and are so unique that they have their own sets of physical conditions and communities of organisms. When habitats become fragmented, their edges often become more abrupt and transition less smoothly than they would naturally."

Additional solutions include creating a matrix of other semi-natural habitat such as scrub land, which may still be favorable to some woodland fauna. Species-specific links, such as badger tunnels and aerial runways for squirrels, are also used to help these animals to negotiate roads." source: http://treesforlife.org.uk/forest/human-impacts/habitat-fragmentation/
