Winners and losers of forest fragmentation.

Breaking up the rainforest into small, isolated patches is forcing more species to live at the forest edge and putting those that
are dependent on the forest core at
risk.
Research published today in the academic journal Nature highlights how biodiversity is changing as a result of deforestation -
- forcing some species to the brink of
extinction while others flourish in the changing environment.
Collecting data for over 1,500 forest vertebrates, the research team led by Newcastle University, UK, and Imperial College
London, found that
85% of species are now being impacted by this forest fragmentation.
