Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change.
Detailed explanation-2: -Connecting habitats through corridors such as road overpasses and underpasses is one solution to restore fragmented patches, building more climate resilient landscapes, and restoring populations and overall biodiversity.
