A habitat is the natural environment where a plant, animal, or other organism lives. In other words, a habitat is a home, you might ask yourself - what else lives here?
Habitats provide all the essentials for survival, including food, water, shelter, and space. Different species rely on different habitats for instance woodlands, wetlands, grasslands, rivers, and coastal areas all support unique forms of life. In the UK, a wide variety of habitats support rich biodiversity e.g. the range of living things found in an area.
