This paper reviews the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife habitats globally. Anthropogenic activities such as urbanization, agriculture, industrial activities, and infrastructure development lead to habitat loss, fragmentation, pollution, and resource depletion, profoundly affecting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Case studies from the Amazon rainforest, Great Barrier Reef, and African savannas highlight specific impacts and conservation challenges. The review also discusses conservation and mitigation strategies, including protected areas, sustainable development, and restoration ecology, alongside policy frameworks like the Convention on Biological Diversity and national wildlife protection laws. Future research needs focus on emerging threats, technological advancements, and interdisciplinary approaches to enhance conservation efforts.
