Island ecosystems are unique environments found on islands, characterized by their isolation from mainland habitats. This isolation often leads to a high level of biodiversity, with many species evolving specifically to adapt to the island's conditions. Islands can host a variety of habitats, including forests, wetlands, and coral reefs, each supporting distinct plant and animal life. Due to their limited size and resources, island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities. Invasive species, habitat destruction, and climate change can threaten the delicate balance of these ecosystems. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect the unique flora and fauna found in these isolated habitats, such as the Galápagos Islands and Hawaiian Islands.
