What are natural environments?

Natural environments are the places on Earth where things grow, move, and live without being made by people.

Imagine you're playing in your backyard, that's like a natural environment. But instead of just your backyard, think about big forests, rivers, mountains, deserts, and oceans. These are all natural environments because they happen naturally, not because someone built them.

A natural environment is made up of things that work together, like plants, animals, water, air, and soil. In a forest, trees make oxygen, little animals hide under leaves, and rain helps everything grow, all without anyone telling them what to do.

In your neighborhood, there are houses, streets, and playgrounds, those are man-made environments. A natural environment is more like a big, living puzzle where everything has its own job, just like how you have different jobs in a game.

You can think of a forest as a giant, wild version of a park, but it’s not built by people. It grows and changes on its own, just like your favorite toy does when you play with it every day.
