Rainforests are habitats for many plants and animals. However, habitat fragmentation is occurring because of human activity. When a rainforest is fragmented, a large area is divided into small patches that are isolated from each other. Species living in these patches are more likely to become extinct as a result of overcrowding and competition.
Which of the following is the best way to minimize the effects of habitat fragmentation on the biodiversity of a rainforest ecosystem?
A.
constructing boundaries and fences around each habitat patch
B.
building natural green pathways across the original habitat to join all the patches together
C.
building concrete roads across the original habitat to join all of the patches together
D.
introducing new species that compete with the existing species in each habitat patch
