Habitat types refer to the different environments where plants and animals live. These environments can be classified into several categories, including forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, and marine areas. Each habitat type has unique characteristics, such as climate, soil type, and available resources, which support specific species of flora and fauna. Understanding habitat types is essential for conservation efforts. Protecting these environments helps maintain biodiversity and ensures that ecosystems function properly. Changes in habitat, often due to human activities like deforestation or pollution, can threaten the survival of many species and disrupt ecological balance.
