Answer:

Habitat fragmentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat is defined as the place or the environment in which organisms live.

The Orange County Tollway that is dividing the Cleveland National Forest, into two regions instead of one is called "Habitat fragmentation". Habitat fragmentation is defined as the process in which a large area of habitat is remodeled into smaller regions due to human activities such as parking lots, new roads, and housing developments.

Hence, the correct answer is "Habitat fragmentation".
