A protected place, on land or in the ocean, where plants and animals get extra safety and space to live.
Why it matters: Reserves give habitats a break so creatures can grow up, have babies, and keep ecosystems strong.
Fun fact: In ocean reserves, fish often grow bigger and more plentiful, and baby fish can “spill over” into nearby waters.
Say it like this: NAY-chur ree-ZERV
Activity twist: Design your own reserve! Draw a small map of a beach or reef, add signs (no litter, quiet zone, no fishing), and list three animals you’re protecting.
