Habitat Quality

Habitat quality refers to how well an environment supports the needs of plants and animals. It considers factors like food availability, shelter, water, and space for breeding. A high-quality habitat allows species to thrive, reproduce, and maintain healthy populations. Conversely, low-quality habitats may lack these essentials, leading to stress and decline in wildlife. Understanding habitat quality is crucial for conservation efforts, as it helps identify areas that need protection or restoration to support biodiversity and ecosystem health.
