Abstract
Urbanization is rapidly transforming landscapes in India, impacting natural habitats and wildlife. This paper explores the diverse effects of urbanization on Indian wildlife, addressing habitat fragmentation, altered species distribution and abundance, human-wildlife conflicts, and the impact on migratory species. It discusses strategies for mitigating these impacts through effective urban planning, conservation initiatives, and community engagement. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fostering sustainable urban environments that harmonize human development with biodiversity conservation in India.
