Living Things – Habitats
The particular environment that a plant or animal lives in is called a habitat.
The world needs a variety of habitats to ensure all living things have somewhere to live. Some examples of habitats are:
– Deserts
– Rainforest
– Coral reefs (see photo on the left)
Some habitats are much closer to home though, for example:
– Woodland
– Garden ponds
Many habitats are in danger because of human activity such as:
– Cutting down trees
– Building homes and roads on grassland
– Polluting rivers and lakes with chemicals
