Habitat change, for example through urbanisation, is one of the most important causes of biodiversity decline. By 2050, settlements and cities across the globe are predicted to increase by two to three million square kilometres - about half the size of Greenland.

How wildlife can adapt to such fundamental changes has mostly been studied for a few species groups, such as mammals and birds.
