native animals

Native animals are species that naturally live and have evolved in a particular region over thousands of years. They are well-adapted to their local environment, playing vital roles in their ecosystems. Native species help maintain ecological balance, support biodiversity, and contribute to the health of the environment. They are often contrasted with introduced or invasive species, which are brought by humans from elsewhere and may disrupt local ecosystems. Protecting native animals is important for preserving the natural heritage and ecological integrity of an area.
