Habitat loss is a persistent threat for endangered species,
with both natural and human factors contributing to the devastating
fragmentation of natural environments. In extreme cases, this fragmentation can
result in species having little to no natural habitat remaining in which to
repopulate.
Attempts to combat this growing phenomenon have emerged in
the form of rebuilding or expanding natural habitats in order
to facilitate population re-growth. However, the success of such projects has been limited, and
as a result, habitat restoration alone is considered an unreliable method of
mitigating species loss.
This is largely due to restoration attempts facing a myriad
of constraints that can impact both short and longterm progress, and a large
proportion of restoration projects being deemed insufficient in terms of
increasing population size.
