Natural history is the scientific study of organisms, their behaviors, habitats, and interactions with one another and their environment. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including biology, ecology, geology, and anthropology. Natural history research aims to understand and document the diversity of life on Earth, the processes that have shaped it, and how organisms adapt to their surroundings. Researchers in this field often conduct fieldwork to observe and collect data on plants, animals, and ecosystems in their natural environments. The knowledge gained from natural history research is crucial for conservation, ecological restoration, and understanding the interconnectedness of living organisms.
