Habitat factsheets
Animals and plants live in a wide range of habitats, and develop features to suit those environments. We need to conserve these habitats and the species that rely on them.
Use these links for a description of the habitat:
- Tundra
- Northern coniferous forest (Boreal, Taiga) e.g. Canada and N Russia
- Mountains e.g. South American Andes, and Virungas, Rwanda.
- Tropical rainforest e.g. Congo Basin, C.Africa.
- Tropical grassland (plains) e.g. Masai Mara, E.Africa
- Temperate rainforest e.g. Olympic Peninsular, N.America
- Temperate grassland (Prairies)
- Coasts e.g. Slapton Sands, U.K
- Ocean e.g. Atlantic ocean
- Fresh water e.g. Pantanal, Brazil.
- Mangrove e.g. Langkawi, Malaysia.
- Urban e.g. Bangkok, Thailand.
- Scrub forest (Chapparal) e.g. Cape region, South Africa.
- Temperate forest e.g. Carpathian Mountains, Slovakia
