Habitat

Habitat

Habitat can refer to any area of land, sea or sky which is used by a living organism or species as its main place of living. It is the natural or physical environment that surrounds and is utilized by a species or combination of species. Habitat conservation has become an important field for environmentalists as practices such as deforestation have increasingly led to the destruction of vital habitats and the death of certain species. Conservationists therefore aim to promote sustainable environmental policies to preserve habitats and protect the creatures and organisms that inhabit them.
