Indigenous species, also known as native species, are organisms that naturally occur in a specific geographic area or ecosystem without human introduction. These species have evolved and adapted to their local environment over time, contributing to the biodiversity and ecological balance of that region. Their presence is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems, as they often play vital roles in food webs and habitat structures. In contrast, non-native or invasive species can disrupt these ecosystems, leading to negative impacts on indigenous species and their habitats.
