A habitat is the natural environment that supports a specific species, offering essential resources such as food, shelter, water, and space for reproduction and survival. Habitats range from forests and wetlands to deserts and urban green spaces. Each species thrives in a particular habitat type suited to its biological needs. Habitat preservation is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance. In landscape architecture and environmental planning, designing with habitat conservation in mind supports sustainable development and helps mitigate human impact on ecosystems.
