The primary determinant of freshwater biodiversity is often considered habitat availability. Diverse aquatic habitats, such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries, support a wide variety of species, including fish, amphibians, and aquatic plants. The health of these habitats affects species richness and ecosystem function. Conservation efforts aimed at protecting and restoring freshwater habitats are essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services critical for human survival and well-being.
