1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainable Tourism and Soft MobilityTourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors globally, contributing 9.1% to the world gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 [1]. Italy was the fourth most visited country worldwide in 2023, with a share of 4.4% of the total, and the third in Europe, after France and Spain [2]. With 133.6 million arrivals and 447.2 million overnight stays, tourism in Italy has exceeded pre-COVID levels.

1 INTRODUCTION Decades of research on the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation have failed to fully clarify the role of patch size for biodiversity (Chase et al., 2020; Diamond, 1975; Fahrig, 2017; Riva & Fahrig, 2023; Simberloff & Abele, 1976).

Identifying adequate policies to regulate land use is crucial following the 2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) because habitat loss and degradation contribute most to ongoing biodiversity loss (Fahrig, 2017; Haddad et al., 2015).

1 INTRODUCTION Habitat loss is widely considered the most important factor leading to species loss (Díaz et al., 2019; Fahrig, 2003; Watling et al., 2020). However, the effects of habitat fragmentation independent of the effects of habitat loss (“fragmentation per se”) are still debated (Fahrig et al., 2019; Fletcher et al., 2018). Metapopulation theory (Hanski, 1994; Levins, 1969) has had a deep impact on researchers' understanding of the effects of fragmentation on species.

I. INTRODUCTION Land use change is responsible for several sustainability challenges including changes to climate and widespread loss of biodiversity (Ellis et al., 2021; Caro et al., 2022; Rockström et al., 2023).
