Habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.

Habitat connectivity is critical for maintaining healthy populations of organisms, as it promotes biological diversity through the exchange of genes (i.e., reproduction) and allows animals to respond in the face of environmental changes.

• Habitat loss is losing places for wildlife to live, from cutting down a forest or converting grasslands to agriculture.
• Habitat fragmentation is when large parts of habitats get cut into smaller pieces.
