Our Planet with different Habitat

The natural environment in which creature lives is its habitat. For instance, in the wild, lions live in African grasslands called the savanna. Thereby the savanna is the lion’s habitat. Other examples of habitats are forests, oceans, coasts and mountains. Oceans make the world’s largest habitat.
They contain 99% of the habitable space on the planet and are home to creatures ranging from the microscopic bacteria to the largest animal that has ever lived on earth, the blue whale.
From the North Pole to the South Pole and everywhere in between, the earth holds a vast number of diverse habitats. From the Arctic fox that braves the sub-zero temperatures of the North Pole to the two humped Bactrian camel that lives in the rocky deserts of Central and East Asia, life flourishes everywhere on our planet. But this is changing now. Due to human activities such as deforestation and pollution many species are losing their habitat. Habitat loss is the main threat to 85% of all threatened and endangered species.

We share our planet with millions of creatures both big and small. As citizens of Earth it is our responsibility to live in a way that we conserve our planet with all its unique inhabitants.
