Habitat conservation is when people help protect the environment and the habitats of wild animals. Habitats are the places where animals live, like the forest, the desert, or the ocean, and they need to be looked after so that animals can live in them. Conservationists, or people who protect the environment, work hard to protect habitats and make sure that animals have enough food and a place to live. They also help protect animals from being hunted or hurt by people. Conservationists also help protect plants and trees so that animals have enough food to eat and places to hide. This way, animals can live safe and happy in their habitats.
