Forest island size and degree of isolation have been thought to be the key factors affecting animal assemblages in fragmented forests up to this point in study. As there are many additional variables affecting animal persistence in forest islands, using such a simple method might have negative consequences on the findings and conclusions. We looked through the scholarly literature on the subject in order to identify these elements and gauge their significance. In addition to island size, other important elements impacting creature gatherings at the backwoods island scale incorporate fix structure, edge impacts, and nearby plant local area structure. The general number of woodland islands and their consolidated size, lattice penetrability, the presence of immense organic halls, as well as solitary trees and woods, appear to be the main determinants at the scene scale. Our analysis also shows that several of these components have a propensity to interact. For instance, edge impacts might decrease the amount of habitat that is acceptable in a patch of forest. Moreover, certain consequences of fragmentation may be hidden by a species' characteristics, such as movement, dietary preferences, or habitat specialization. The landscape context is also very important for the survival of animals in fragmented forests. So, we draw the conclusion that there is a critical need to use suitable bio-indicators to explore the aforementioned parts of habitat fragmentation at the neighborhood and scene scales.
