Key Terms

Habitat
The natural environment where an organism lives.

Example: Forests, wetlands, and urban areas are different types of habitats.

Biodiversity
The variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Example: A city park can have high biodiversity with many plant and animal species.

Urbanization
The process of making an area more urban, often leading to habitat loss.

Example: Urbanization can reduce the natural habitats available for wildlife.

Ecosystem
A community of living organisms and their environment interacting as a system.

Example: An urban ecosystem includes parks, gardens, and wildlife.

Fragmentation
The process where large habitats are broken into smaller, isolated patches.

Example: Roads can cause habitat fragmentation, making it hard for animals to move.

Corridor
A strip of natural habitat connecting populations of wildlife.

Example: Wildlife corridors can be greenways or tunnels under roads.
