pristine environments

Pristine environments refer to natural areas that remain largely untouched by human activity, preserving their original ecosystems, plants, and wildlife. These environments are characterized by minimal or no signs of development, pollution, or alteration, allowing natural processes to occur as they have for centuries. Examples include remote forests, wilderness areas, and untouched marine habitats. They are important for biodiversity, scientific research, and maintaining Earth's ecological balance. Protecting pristine environments helps ensure the survival of many species and the health of our planet.
