Native environments are the natural habitats where different species of plants and animals reside and thrive. These habitats maintain the ecological balance by providing the necessary resources for the survival of various living organisms. Synonyms for native environments include home grounds, natural settings, original habitats, and indigenous environments. Home grounds refer to the place where different species naturally belong, while natural settings refer to the specific environment that supports their lifestyle. The term original habitats refers to the place where a species originally lived before any changes were made to their habitat. Indigenous environments, on the other hand, emphasize the cultural and genetic heritage of different species within their natural habitats.
