Abstract The diversification of human induced disturbances upon natural ecosystems has contributed to wildlife habitat fragmentation which has been a serious threat to the survival of natural populations.

Habitat loss and fragmentation are processes that separate small populations,

Unlike with classical conditioning this involves the child becoming more active in their learning through observation, a strength in this theory as it means children are learning to process and consider information. They do this by giving attention to their environment, retaining what they see, replicating it and keeping
