Freshwater habitats are environments where water with low salt concentration is found, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and wetlands. These areas are crucial for many species, providing them with food, shelter, and breeding grounds. Freshwater habitats support a diverse range of life, including fish, amphibians, insects, and plants like water lilies and cattails. These habitats play a vital role in the ecosystem by filtering water, regulating temperature, and supporting biodiversity. They also offer recreational opportunities for people, such as fishing and kayaking. Protecting freshwater habitats is essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and ensuring clean water for future generations.
