| Abstract | Rapid urbanization has become one of the major drivers of ecological transformation, creating significant pressures on biodiversity through habitat loss, landscape fragmentation, pollution, and changes in ecosystem processes. As cities continue to expand, maintaining biodiversity within urban and peri-urban landscapes has become essential for ecological stability, human well-being, and sustainable development. Biodiversity conservation in urbanizing environments requires integrated approaches that combine ecological planning, habitat restoration, community participation, and sustainable urban management. This study examines the challenges and strategies associated with biodiversity conservation in rapidly urbanizing landscapes through a conceptual analysis of urban ecological systems, conservation approaches, and nature-based planning frameworks. The research explores the role of green infrastructure, urban habitat protection, ecological connectivity, restoration initiatives, and community involvement in maintaining biodiversity under increasing urban pressure. The study adopts an analytical framework based on existing ecological research, urban sustainability literature, and biodiversity conservation models. The findings indicate that effective biodiversity conservation requires balancing urban growth with ecological protection through integrated planning and adaptive management. However, challenges including land-use conflicts, habitat fragmentation, limited conservation funding, and weak governance mechanisms continue to affect biodiversity protection efforts. The study concludes that sustainable urban development must incorporate biodiversity conservation as a fundamental component of city planning. Strengthening ecological networks, protecting urban habitats, and promoting collaborative conservation strategies can support resilient urban ecosystems and improve long-term environmental sustainability. |
