Ecological Habitat

An ecological habitat is a specific environment where a plant, animal, or other organism lives and finds everything it needs to survive—such as food, water, shelter, and space. Habitats can vary widely, from forests and oceans to grasslands and deserts. Each habitat provides unique conditions and resources that support the organisms within it. The health of a habitat is essential for maintaining biodiversity, as it allows different species to thrive and interact. Protecting habitats helps ensure the balance of ecosystems is preserved, benefiting both the environment and the species that depend on it.
